Hi,

Directly on the command line:

gs -q -dBATCH -dMaxBitmap=50000000 -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=epswrite 
-sOutputFile=out.eps -- mypdf.pdf -c quit

Gives an eps file that can be opened in ghostscript, but not Preview or Adobe 
Illustrator. 308MB

gs -q -dBATCH -dMaxBitmap=50000000 -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=tiff32nc 
-sOutputFile=out.eps -- mypdf.pdf -c quit

Gives me a tiff file - which is what I want ( or at least a bitmap I can import 
). 28MB

That delegate is similar to the one used for Imagemagick in the delegates.xml 
file.

Are there several conversions then when importing pdf files? Such as 
pdf->eps->tif?

I could just use the command line versions to convert, but I was just trying to 
keep all the import and conversions internal.
