PStill Use Case: PDF Generation on the command line: Applies to: ALL VERSIONS 1.90.xx and newer. Note: PStill needs options! At least the -M defaultxxx options are recommended. For a list of possible options run pstill -H (or pstill64 -H for the 64 bit version) This works for any supported source (PDF, EPS, PS. PNG, JPEG, TIFF, etc.). The simple case: -v -M defaultall -o output.pdf input To generate RGB output: -v -M defaultrgb -M cmykprofile=optionalCMYKProfile.icc -o output.pdf input Where -M cmykprofile=optionalCMYKProfile.icc is optional, use it for CMYK sources for exact colors. It should match the source CMYK color space. To generate matching CMYK output: -v -M defaultcmyk -M cmykprofile=optionalCMYKProfile.icc -o output.pdf input Where -M cmykprofile=optionalCMYKProfile.icc is optional, use it for RGB sources for exact colors. It should match the target CMYK color space. Source RGB color space is assumed to be sRGB. Option -v turns on verbose output. You can omit it if you don#t want to see feedback on what PStill is doing.
