CROSSPAD2PS(1)

NAME
crosspad2ps - convert CrossPad data file into postscript and other formats

SYNOPSIS
crosspad2ps [-abDir] [-s startpage] [-e endpage] [-p page] [-m format] [-w width] file

DESCRIPTION
crosspad2ps converts CrossPad version 0 data ( which is typically generated by padload(1)) into postscript file.

The following options are available.

-a  Toggle annotation. Annocation is on by default, and will be
    •   page number on the bottom left of the page, and
    •   checkbox on bookmarked page.

-b  Batch mode (default). This has no effect at this moment.

-D  Debug mode. If you specify multiple -D, debug level will be raised.

-i  Interactive mode, which is opposite from batch mode (-b). This has no effect at this moment.

-r  Do not reorder pages. CrossPad file is ordered by date/time, not the pages. By default, crosspad2ps will reorder output by page number, which is usually a desired behavior. If called with -r, crosspad2ps will not reorder the pages, and generate output based on the order presented in the source file.

-s startpage

-e endpage

-p page
    To restrict page range to be appear on output, use these options. -p is to genearate output for single page only.

-m format
    Select the output format. format can be ps, eps, tgif or idraw. Alternatively, you can invoke crosspad2ps under other names such as crosspad2eps.

-w width
    Set the linewidth to width.

MODES
There are some restrictions or differences in behavior for each of the output formats. To switch output format, please use -m, or invoke as crosspad2xx.

ps  Annotation (-a) takes effect on postscript output only. Linewidth option (-w) takes effect on postscript, eps and tgif output only.

eps As we cannot generate multi-page encapsulated postscript file, only the first page in the specified range ( as specified by -s, -e and -p) will be generated. Linewidth option (-w) takes effect on postscript, eps and tgif output only. Annotation (-a) will not be handled.

tgif
    -s, -e and -p will behave just as the same as eps mode. -r has no effect. Blank area around the sketch will be cropped, and the sketch will be placed at top-left corner of the tgif image. Annotation (-a) and linewidth (-w) takes effect on postscript, eps and tgif output only. Debugging output (-D) will not be generated.

idraw
    Mostly same as tgif mode. -s, -e and -p will behave just as the same as eps mode. -r has no effect. Blank area around the sketch will be cropped. Annotation (-a) and linewidth (-w) will not be handled. Debugging output (-D) will not be generated.

BUGS
If crosspad2ps sees unknown control code in the file, it will generate error. In this case, you'd better transmit your CrossPad file to the author of the utility, so that the control code is supported in the next version of this program.

This tool only capable of handling CrossPad version 0 file format.

-b and -i has no effect at this moment.
