2 NCLUDE_FILE

       xpdfrc - configuration file for Xpdf tools (version 2.01)

       include config-file
              Includes  the specified config file.  The effect of
              this is equivalent to  inserting  the  contents  of
              config-file directly into the parent config file in
              place of the include command.  Config files can  be
              nested arbitrarily deep.

2 HARACTER_MAPPIN

       nameToUnicode map-file
              Specifies  a  file  with the mapping from character
              names to Unicode.  This is used to handle PDF fonts
              that  have  valid encodings but no ToUnicode entry.
              Each line of a nameToUnicode file looks like this:

                   hex-string name

              The hex-string is  the  Unicode  (UCS-2)  character
              index,  and  name  is  the  corresponding character
              name.  Multiple nameToUnicode files can be used; if
              a  character name is given more than once, the code
              in the last specified file is  used.   There  is  a
              built-in  default  nameToUnicode  table with all of
              Adobe's standard character names.

       cidToUnicode registry-ordering map-file
              Specifies the file with the mapping from  character
              collection to Unicode.  Each line of a cidToUnicode
              file represents one character:

                   hex-string

              The hex-string is the  Unicode  (UCS-2)  index  for
              that  character.   The  first  line maps CID 0, the
              second line CID 1, etc.  File size is determined by
              size of the character collection.  Only one file is
              allowed per character collection; the  last  speci-
              fied file is used.  There are no built-in cidToUni-
              code mappings.

       unicodeMap encoding-name map-file
              Specifies the file with  mapping  from  Unicode  to
              encoding-name.  These encodings are used for X dis-
              play fonts and text output (see below).  Each  line
              of  a  unicodeMap file represents a range of one or
              more Unicode characters which maps  linearly  to  a
              range in the output encoding:

                   in-start-hex in-end-hex out-start-hex

              Entries  for  single  characters can be abbreviated
              to:

                   in-hex out-hex

              The in-start-hex and in-end-hex fields (or the sin-
              gle  in-hex  field) specify the Unicode range.  The
              out-start-hex field (or the out-hex  field)  speci-
              fies  the  start of the output encoding range.  The
              length of the  out-start-hex  (or  out-hex)  string
              determines  the  length  of  the  output characters
              (e.g., UTF-8 uses different  numbers  of  bytes  to

              represent characters in different ranges).  Entries
              must be given in increasing  Unicode  order.   Only
              one  file  is allowed per encoding; the last speci-
              fied file is used.   The  Latin1,  ASCII7,  Symbol,
              ZapfDingbats, UTF-8, and UCS-2 encodings are prede-
              fined.

       cMapDir registry-ordering dir
              Specifies a search directory, dir,  for  CMaps  for
              the  registry-ordering character collection.  There
              can be multiple directories for a  particular  col-
              lection.  There are no default CMap directories.

       toUnicodeDir dir
              Specifies  a  search  directory, dir, for ToUnicode
              CMaps.  There can be  multiple  ToUnicode  directo-
              ries.   There are no default ToUnicode directories.

2 ISPLAY_FONT

       displayFontX PDF-font-name XLFD encoding-name
              Maps a PDF font, PDF-font-name, to an X font, XLFD,
              for display.  The XLFD (X Logical Font  Descriptor)
              should  contain  the  string  "%s",  which  will be
              replaced by xpdf with the font size.  If  the  XLFD
              contains  spaces  it  must  be  quoted.  The encod-
              ing-name must be defined with the  unicodeMap  com-
              mand  (see  above).   By default, the Base-14 fonts
              are mapped to standard X fonts, using  the  Latin1,
              Symbol, and ZapfDingbats encodings.

       displayFontT1 PDF-font-name T1-file
              Maps  a  PDF  font, PDF-font-name, to a Type 1 font
              for display.  The Type 1 font file, T1-file, should
              be a standard .pfa or .pfb file.

       displayFontTT PDF-font-name TT-file
              Maps  a PDF font, PDF-font-name, to a TrueType font
              for display.   The  TrueType  font  file,  TT-file,
              should be a standard .ttf file.

       displayNamedCIDFontX PDF-font-name XLFD encoding-name
              Maps    a   specific   PDF   CID   (16-bit)   font,
              PDF-font-name, to the X font,  XLFD,  for  display.
              The encoding given by encoding-name must be defined
              with the unicodeMap command.  There are no  default
              display CID font mappings.

       displayCIDFontX registry-ordering XLFD encoding-name
              Maps  the registry-ordering character collection to
              the X font, XLFD, for  display.   This  mapping  is
              used  if  the  font  name  doesn't match any of the
              fonts declared with displayNamedCIDFont*  commands.
              The encoding given by encoding-name must be defined
              with the unicodeMap command.  There are no  default
              display CID font mappings.

       displayNamedCIDFontT1 PDF-font-name T1-file
              Maps    a   specific   PDF   CID   (16-bit)   font,
              PDF-font-name, to a  CID  font  (16-bit  PostScript
              font),  for display.  There are no default CID font
              mappings.

       displayCIDFontT1 registry-ordering T1-file
              Maps the registry-ordering character collection  to
              a  CID  font (16-bit PostScript font), for display.
              This mapping is used if the font name doesn't match
              any of the fonts declared with displayNamedCIDFont*
              commands.  There are no default CID font  mappings.

       fontDir dir
              Specifies  a  search  directory  for  external font
              files.  There can be multiple fontDir  directories.

              If  a  PDF  file  uses a font but doesn't embed it,
              these directories will be searched for  a  matching
              font  file.  These fonts are used by both xpdf (for
              display) and pdftops (for embedding in  the  gener-
              ated  PostScript).   Only  files  with  suffixes of
              ".pfa", ".pfb", or ".ttf" will be used; other files
              in these directories will be ignored.  There are no
              default fontDir directories.

2 OSTSCRIPT_CONTRO

       psPaperSize width(pts) height(pts)
              Sets  the  paper  size  for PostScript output.  The
              width and height parameters give the paper size  in
              PostScript points.

       psPaperSize letter | legal | A4 | A3
              Sets  the  paper  size  for  PostScript output to a
              standard size.  The default paper size is set  when
              xpdf  and  pdftops are built, typically to "letter"
              or "A4".

       psDuplex yes | no
              If set to "yes", the generated PostScript will  set
              the  "Duplex" pagedevice entry.  This tells duplex-
              capable  printers  to   enable   duplexing.    This
              defaults to "no".

       psLevel  level1  |  level1sep  |  level2  |  level2sep |
              level3 | level3Sep
              Sets   the  PostScript  level  to  generate.   This
              defaults to "level2".

       psFont PDF-font-name PS-font-name
              When the PDF-font-name font is used in a PDF  file,
              it  will  be  translated  to  the  PostScript  font
              PS-font-name, which is assumed to  be  resident  in
              the    printer.    Typically,   PDF-font-name   and
              PS-font-name are the same.  By  default,  only  the
              Base-14 fonts are assumed to be resident.

       psNamedFont16 PDF-font-name wMode PS-font-name encoding
              When the 16-bit font PDF-font-name is used in a PDF
              file with the wMode writing mode and is not  embed-
              ded,  the  PS-font-name font is substituted for it.
              The writing mode must be either 'H' for  horizontal
              or  'V'  for  vertical.   The  PS-font-name font is
              assumed to be resident in the printer  and  to  use
              the   specified  encoding  (which  must  have  been
              defined with the unicodeMap command).

       psFont16 registry-ordering wMode PS-font-name encoding
              When a  16-bit  font  using  the  registry-ordering
              character  collection and wMode writing mode is not
              embedded and  does  not  match  any  of  the  fonts
              declared    in    psNamedFont16    commands,    the
              PS-font-name font is substituted for it.  The writ-
              ing  mode  must be either 'H' for horizontal or 'V'
              for vertical.  The PS-font-name font is assumed  to
              be resident in the printer and to use the specified
              writing mode and encoding  (which  must  have  been
              defined with the unicodeMap command).

       psEmbedType1Fonts yes | no
              If  set to "no", prevents embedding of Type 1 fonts
              in generated PostScript.  This defaults to "yes".

       psEmbedTrueTypeFonts yes | no
