The good thing is - it works for me. I didn’t had to add the converter. The built-in converter script succeeds. Then I tried it with your converter definition and failed. Finally I noticed it would be good to call the convert utility with « convert $$i $$o » - i.e. in => out. Now I can preview it with ps2pdf and export a pdf of it. Does this work for you?
