Is there a way to generate an EPS file from a PDF file

In earlier versions of our software along with supporting Quickdraw printing we also directly supported printing via HPGL, HPGL/2, Calcomp PCI, DMPL, Postscript, EPS and a host of other printing/plotting languages. For our OS X version of our software we have dropped support for everything except Quartz. The ability to create PDF files comes for free since we are using Quartz. For most of our customers this is okay.

We have one customer that was making use of EPS to place drawings/images into word processing documents. Is there a way to convert from a PDF file into an EPS file, or to directly create an EPS file?

If not, are there other image formats that can easily be created thru the normal print mechanism?
At WWDC last year I remember someone demonstrating how you could create some kind of printing script that would convert the image to a raster format. At this point I don't remember if that was GIF, TIFF, JPEG or something.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
Mike
