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

Since Core Graphics can be scripted with Python, it is conceivable that you could create a script which caught the PDF output and dumped it into any format for which there is a QuickTime Exporter.

Look up "printing workflows" from the mac help menu. It may give you some idea of how to get started.

You might also start with the URL

I'll checkout the docs and at least take a look at Ghostscript. It may not be pretty but if it's the only option my customer has then we will have to consider that route.


My background is not UNIX so I've not learned any of the scripting languages. I guess someday I'll have to pick one and learn it.

Off-line someone suggested using Preview Export options. It doesn't give us EPS but sure gives a host of other formats.
