SYNOPSIS

       pict2pdf	 [-fv]	[-r  angle]  [-s  scale]  [-h height] [-w
       width] [-b borderwidth] file1  [file2]


DESCRIPTION

       pict2pdf converts files in Apple's PICT format to  Adobe's
       PDF format.  The conversion retains any vector information
       in the PICT image.  The new PDF file will  be  created  in
       the same directory as the PICT file but with the extension
       .pdf.  The extension will be appended  to  the  PICT  file
       name  if the PICT file does not end with .pict (or .PICT),
       otherwise the .pict extension will be replaced.


OPTIONS

       -b borderwidth
	       will draw a bounding rectangle in  the  pdf  image
	       with a thickness equal to borderwidth pixels.

       -f      force an existing PDF files to be overwritten

       -h  height
	       sets  the height of the pdf image to height pixels
	       (1/72 inch).  If -w height is not used,	then  the
	       entire  image is uniformly scaled to reach height.
	       If -w width is specified, then this parameter only
	       affects vertical scaling.

       -r angle
	       the  PICT  image will be rotated counter-clockwise
	       by angle degrees	 before	 conversion  to	 the  PDF
	       image

       -s  scale
	       magnify	the  PICT  image  by  a scale factor.  If
	       scale is 0.5 then the PDF image will one-half  the
	       size of the original PICT image.

       -v      print version info

       -w width
	       sets  the  width	 of the pdf image to width pixels
	       (1/72 inch).  If -h height is not used,	then  the
	       entire  image  is uniformly scaled to reach width.
	       If -h  height is specified,  then  this	parameter
	       only affects horizontal scaling.



EXAMPLES

       pict2pdf sample.pict
	      will  produce sample.pdf in the same directory.  If
	      sample.pdf already exists then  the  program  exits
	      normally
       No support for stdin/stdout.
