ps2pdf

PURPOSE ^

PS2PDF Converts a PostScript file into Adobe PDF format.

SYNOPSIS ^

function ps2pdf(filename)

DESCRIPTION ^

PS2PDF            Converts a PostScript file into Adobe PDF format.
   PS2PDF(FILENAME), where FILENAME is a PostScript file, will convert a 
   .ps file to an Adobe .pdf file.  Although Matlab supports directly
   printing to a PDF driver, the PS driver has added flexibility (e.g.,
   it allows pages to be appended to an existing file).  PS2PDF eases
   the process of ending up with a PDF document after using the PS
   flexibility while creating a document.

   PS2PDF deletes the PostScript file after the PDF file is created.

   This function uses the GhostScript driver packaged with Matlab
   for portability.

   See also REPORT_ADDPAGE.
