Hi Tibor,
when configuring 0.99.1, I've noticed that you only consider Adobe
Reader and Distiller as converters to/from PDF and PS. Fortunately,
both xpdf (with pdftops and pstopdf) and ghoscript (pdf2ps and ps2pdf)
are valid alternatives.
I started to draft a patch, but I'm ignorant enough about autotools and
friends that at this moment I cannot spend the time I need to complete
it. So I've done the trivial part of the easy half, leaving the
rest to you ;-)
BTW, do you prefer the patches sent as attachments or inline?
Thanks,
Ferran
WebSubmit: add xpdf and ghostscript as alternatives to Acrobat
* This is just an early draft
* Both xpdf and ghostscript provide converters from/to PDF and PS.
* TODO: add them in the INSTALL, configure, etc.
