To convert a PostScript file to PDF, I can use either - ps2pdf input.ps output.pdf - ps2pdfwr input.ps output.pdf But what is the real practical difference between the two? I do know ps2pdf provide the -dCompatibility=1.x switch in the command line, whereas man ps2pdfwr describes its usage as to convert PostScript to PDF without specifying CompatibilityLevel. But does it mean the only real difference between them is that the former does provide the -dCompatibility switch, whereas the latter doesn't? I think the answer is "no" (because in such a case developing the latter utility would be quite a silly idea), and this is why I want someone to exlain me all their practical differences between the two and pros/contras/pitfalls.
