Suggest keywords and characterizations for epstopdf

I am glad to receive suggested keywords and characterizations for this package. I am especially glad if you are the package author but I'd take helpful advice from anyone (I reserve the right to edit or disregard anything).

Note: this form is for changes to the keywords and characterizations for this package, and anything else is invalid. Other information about the package — such as its description — I am not allowed to change; you must write ctan at dante.de. (I have a separate form for author display name and collate name because those may apply across multiple packages.)

Convert EPS to 'encapsulated' PDF using GhostScript.

Epstopdf is a Perl script that converts an EPS file to an ‘encapsulated’ PDF file (a single page file whose media box is the same as the original EPS’s bounding box). The resulting file suitable for inclusion by PDFTeX as an image. The script is adapted to run both on Windows and on Unix-alike systems. The script makes use of Ghostscript for the actual conversion to PDF. It assumes Ghostscript version 6.51 or later, and (by default) suppresses its automatic rotation of pages where most of the text is not horizontal. LaTeX users may make use of the epstopdf package, which will run the epstopdf script “on the fly”, thus giving the illusion that PDFLaTeX is accepting EPS graphic files.

Choose a list of keywords

Click to leave a checkmark next to all the keywords that apply. To omit a keyword, click again.

Choose a primary characterization

Pick the best description of the main job that this package does. Use the finest-grained characterization that applies. For instance, if the package is a publisher style that applies to books then select Document types > Books > Publisher styles, not Document types > Books or Document types.

Choose secondary characterizations

Many package cross categories. Pick the best description of the other jobs that this package does.

As with the primary characterization, use here the finest-grained characterization that applies. For instance, Fonts > Text body fonts, would help more people find a package than Fonts alone, because a category like the latter one would fill up quickly if we don't go for fine-grained.
