✨ EXTRACTRES(1) ✨

omg hi bestie 💖 this is EXTRACTRES(1), a General Commands Manual page, and it's all about a filter that pulls resources out of a PostScript document. No cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

extractres — filter to extract resources from a PostScript document 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

extractres [-m] <document.ps >output.ps

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So extractres extracts resources — like fonts, procsets, patterns, files, etc — that are appearing in a PostScript document. Then it drops appropriate %%IncludeResource comments into the document prologue. The extracted resources get written to files with the same name as the resource, plus an appropriate extension. ✨

And this pipeline:

extractres file.ps | includeres >out.ps

will move every resource that shows up in a document into the document prologue, and it removes redundant copies. After that, you can safely put the output file through page re-arrangement filters like psnup or pstops. Periodt. 💅

The -m option combines resources that have the same name into one file. You literally have to use it for some programs that download fonts a little bit at a time. 😭

💀 BUGS 💀

extractres does not alter the %%DocumentSuppliedResources comments. So if you were hoping it would, bestie, it literally does not. 🙈
