Synopsis

extractres [OPTION...] [INFILE [OUTFILE]]

Description

extractres extracts resources (fonts, procsets, patterns, files, etc) appearing in a PostScript document, and puts appropriate %%IncludeResource comments in the document prologue. The extracted resources are written to files with the same name as the resource, and an appropriate extension. The pipeline

extractres file.ps | includeres >out.ps

will move all resources appearing in a document to the document prologue, removing redundant copies. The output file can then be put through page re-arrangement filters such as psnup or pstops safely. Extract resources from a PostScript document.
