The problem isn't the script, but acroread 4 itself. The script should work with acroread 3 or 4, as long as acroread doesn't crash. The problem is acroread 4 is very unstable, at least on Linux, and crashes very frequently when using the -toPostScript option. My acroconv.pl script doesn't use the -pairs option to acroread, which seemed to cause acroread 4 to crash even more frequently, but there's not a lot I can do about the bugs in Acrobat. I suggest installing Acrobat Reader 3 on your system for purposes of running acroconv.pl. You can have versions 3 and 4 installed at the same time if you prefer 4 for viewing files. You'll still have problems with PDFs generated by Acrobat 4 or 5, but there's not a lot that can be done about that. If you're not running the latest version of xpdf (0.92 at this time), I'd suggest giving it a try as well. It may help. If it does, I'd also recommend using doc2html.pl as an external converter, rather than any external parser script. -- Gilles R.
