The xpdf package has a converter called pdftops. Unfortunately, the syntax
for pdftops is different than acroread, which means that the source for PDF.cc
will have to be changed.
The suggestion that I have is to do something like the following:
The complete command line to convert a PDF to PS would be entered in the
config file, like so:
# The following line is the default used by PDF.cc if there is no
pdf_converter in the config file
#pdf_converter: acroread -toPostScript -pairs %src %dest
# Using acroread that is not in the PATH
pdf_converter: /usr/local/bin/acroread -toPostScript -pairs %src %dest
# Using pdftops that comes in the xpdf package
#pdf_converter: /usr/local/bin/pdftops %src %dest
Where, %src would be replaced with the filename of the source PDF file and
%dest would be replaced with the destination PS file.
This would be a fairly simple fix. Any comments?
Sylvain,
I can implement, test, and provide patches if you would like.
