+Usage:   $PRG INFILE [ OUTFILE ] [ pdftops opts ] [ -- ps2pdf opts ]
+
+Defaults:
+    OUTFILE:  INFILE with trailing ".pdf" replaced with "_lowres.pdf".
+    pdftops:  $PDFTOPSOPTS
+    ps2pdf:   $PS2PDFOPTS
+
+Examples:
+    $PRG file.pdf -f 7 -l 9
+    $PRG file.pdf -- -dPDFA -dPDFACompatibilityPolicy=1
+    $PRG file.pdf -- -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen
+    $PRG file.pdf -level3 -- -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress
+
+First example above picks pages 7-9.
+Second example above reduces PDF complexity.
+Third example reduces image size for screen-only use.
+Fourth example preserves complexity and image size for professional use.
+
+Defaults reduce file size for 300 DPI color print use.
