Hi,

I would sure like to be able to convert PDF files to plucker format.
Is there any way to do that?

A google search on "pdf to plucker" returns this on
<http://www.pdaforum.de/mailingliste/2001-Juni/msg00118.html>:

Does that still exist?

A manual search for "pdf" in the plucker-dev mbox archive (which
doesn't go back to 2001) returns this from just a few weeks ago:

Is this currently the best approach for converting PDF to Plucker?

At the moment I just use JPluck on Windows.  If there is already a
PDF->Plucker converter in the Distiller/Desktop, my apologies.  (But
do let me know!)

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
David
