NAME
       cupsfilter - convert a file to another format using cups filters

SYNOPSIS
       cupsfilter  [ -c config-file ] [ -m mime/type ] [ -n copies ] [ -o name=value ] [ -p filename.ppd ] [
       -t title ] filename

DESCRIPTION
       cupsfilter is a front-end to the CUPS filter subsystem which allows you to convert a file to  a  spe-cific specific
       cific  format,  just  as if you had printed the file through CUPS. By default, cupsfilter generates a
       PDF file.

OPTIONS
       -c config-file
            Uses the named cupsd.conf configuration file.

       -m mime/type
            Specifies the destination file type. The default file type is application/pdf.

       -n copies
            Specifies the number of copies to generate.

       -o name=value
            Specifies options to pass to the CUPS filters.

       -p filename.ppd
            Specifies the PPD file to use.

       -t title
            Specifies the document title.

KNOWN ISSUES
       cupsfilter currently does not use the filters defined in the PPD file.  This will be addressed  in  a
       future CUPS release.
