Following the suggestion in Herbert's Tips and Tricks page, I tried
running 'pdfimage' on a one-page pdf which is a map (probably originally
drawn in AutoCAD). I ended up with several hundred little files of the
format '-xxx.pbm'. 'pdfimage' is probably extracting each layer as a
separate file. Yuck!

  What I would like -- if it can be done -- is to end up with a greyscale
version of this location map that I can then bring into a figure float in my
book.

  Since extracting "the" image didn't work, should I try pdf2ps, then
ps2eps (after converting to greyscale with ImageMagick)? What's the most
efficient approach that might result in a high-quality graphic? I'd prefer
to not have to recreate the map locally.

TIA,

Rich
