Greetings,
I do not know much about xpdf, but the latest version of Ghostscript from
Alladin Systems (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) *rocks*.
It comes with a "pdftops" program that has worked for everything that I can
throw at it. I am using it as the pdf parser for ht://Dig without any
problems so far.
In addition to hooking it into ht://Dig to parse PDF documents you can do
weird stuff like:
# this dumps all pages to separate jpegs in batch mode (%d is the page
number)
gs -dBATCH -dQUIET -dNOPAGEPROMPT -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=whate
ver_%d.jpg whatever.pdf
# this does page 3 piped to xv as jpeg (JPEGQ is the quality setting)
gs -dFirstPage=3 -dLastPage=3 -dBATCH -dQUIET -dNOPAGEPROMPT -dNOPAUSE -sDEV
ICE=jpeg -dJPEGQ=100 -sOutputFile=- whatever.pdf | xv -
# this does page 3 piped to xv as png (tiff & G4 are also available)
gs -dFirstPage=3 -dLastPage=3 -dBATCH -dQUIET -dNOPAGEPROMPT -dNOPAUSE -sDEV
ICE=png256 -sOutputFile=- whatever.pdf | xv -
Enjoy,
k
