Optimization puts the elements of the file into a more linear order and adds "hint" pointers, allowing Adobe's Acrobat(TM) products to display individual pages of the file more quickly when accessing the file through a network. .PP Note: input.pdf and output.pdf must not be the same. If they are, the file will probably be destroyed. \fBpdfopt\fR currently does not check for this. .SH FILES Run "\fBgs -h\fR" to find the location of Ghostscript documentation on your system, from which you can get more details. .SH SEE ALSO "Linearized PDF" in Adobe's PDF reference manual, http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/DOCS/pdfspec.pdf .SH VERSION This document was last revised for Ghostscript version 8.53. .SH AUTHOR artofcode LLC and Artifex Software, bug-gs at ghostscript.com, are the primary maintainers of Ghostscript.
