NAME
pbmtopsg3 - convert PBM images to Postscript with G3 fax compression
SYNOPSIS
pbmtopsg3 [--title=title] [--dpi=dpi] [filespec]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pbmtopsg3 converts the PBM images in the input PBM file to pages in a
Postscript file encoded with G3 fax compression.
pnmtops is a more general program for converting from the Netpbm formats
to Postscript, though it cannot produce the particular subformat that
pbmtopsg3 does.
If you don't specify filespec, the input is from Standard Input.
Remember that you can create a multi-image PBM file simply by concate-
nating single-image PBM files, so if each page is in a different file,
you might do:
cat faxpage* | pbmtopsg3 >fax.ps
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ ), pbmtopsg3 recognizes the
following command line options:
-title The Postscript title value. Default is no title.
-dpi The resolution of the Postscript output. Default is 72 dpi.
