shortdesc Make PostScript files accessible to pkfix.
longdesc Pkfix is a useful utility for replacing resolution-dependent
longdesc bitmapped fonts in a dvips-produced PostScript file with the
longdesc corresponding resolution-independent vector fonts.
longdesc Unfortunately, pkfix needs to parse certain PostScript comments
longdesc that appear only in files produced by dvips versions later than
longdesc 5.58 (ca. 1996); it fails to work on PostScript files produced
longdesc by older versions of dvips. Pkfix-helper is a program that
longdesc attempts to insert newer-dvips comments into an older-dvips
longdesc PostScript file, thereby making the file suitable for
longdesc processing by pkfix. pkfix-helper can sometimes process
longdesc documents fully autonomously but does require the user to
longdesc verify and, if needed, correct its decisions.
