Hi,
it depends whether one is working in more old school scientific areas where the
benefits of pdf over e/ps aren't that present and the people stick to there
very old pipelines, they are using for 20 years. You can't teach an old dog new
tricks! But getting rid of e/ps is overdue for at least 10 years.
Pdf has some advantages over ps/eps like they are easy to parse when ocr is
used. Images can be taken from them and their data can be made available again.
ps/eps have to be first translated to pdf to use all this on them. Python3 has
good pdf-parsers for processing in PI and it's latex generators are fine to. So
there is no loss when e/ps isn't supported any more. One finally can get rid of
all that ancient ballast.
Cheers,Christian

hi all,
I myself use a lot this output, specially in the EPS extension... But
after reading, it would be possible/easy to implement a call to
ghostscript to make the conversion from pdf or other format to eps/ps? I
am no programmer, so it is possible that I am speaking nonsense...
Regards,
Gonzalo
