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