-
Epspdf has been created with TeX in mind. For TeX and its derivatives, eps -
and pdf are the preferred graphics formats. -
-
Ghostscript can convert PostScript to pdf. However, few people are -
prepared to deal with the ghostscript command-line. Several command-line -
utilities try to help out, e.g. epstopdf, a2ping, and the convert utility -
from ImageMagick. But many users simply want a GUI. -
-
Epspdftk adds a GUI, with buttons to select options and with dialogs for -
opening and saving files. -
-
A lot more can be done if you can round-trip between PostScript and pdf. -
Although Ghostscript can go from pdf to PostScript, pdftops does a much -
better job converting text back to PostScript. This opens several new -
possibilities: grayscaling and computing a better boundingbox for either -
eps- or pdf graphics, and page selection from multipage PostScript- and -
pdf documents. Epspdf will use pdftops if it can find it, and silently -
does whatever back-and-forth conversions are necessary. -
-
The command-line program epspdf is written in Ruby. Epspdftk, its GUI -
companion, in Tcl/Tk. Versions prior to 0.5 were written in Ruby/Tk. -
-
Starting with the 2008 edition, TeX Live includes epspdf as an optional -
package, complete with wrapper scripts epspdf and epspdftk which can be -
called from the command-line without further ado. -
-
There is also a third-party LaTeX package epspdfconversion which uses -
epspdf for on-the-fly conversion of eps graphics to pdf, with options to -
control grayscaling and boundingbox generation. See CTAN or your TeX -
distribution. -
-
Prerequisites -
-
These are the required and optional prerequisites, which will be checked -
for when epspdf starts: -
-
* Ghostscript -
* pdftops from the xpdf suite, strongly recommended for better pdf to -
PostScript conversions -
* Ruby 1.8.x or 1.9.x -
* Tcl/Tk is only required for the GUI interface. Versions 8.4 and 8.5 -
have been tested. -
* Optional: viewers for PostScript and pdf -
-
You may not have to install all of these yourself. -
-
Linux -
-
On a current Linux distribution you can almost certainly install -
everything from your distribution's package repositories. As to -
PostScript- and pdf viewers: epspdf tests for several popular viewers, but -
the configuration screen also lets you specify viewers manually. -
-
Mac OS X -
-
Note. Version 0.5.x has not been tested with Tiger. -
-
Ruby and Tcl/Tk are already part of the operating system. Ghostscript is -
included in MacTeX, but is also available via e.g. MacPorts. You can get -
pdftops from MacPorts as part of either Poppler or xpdf. Another source is -
[9]http://users.phg-online.de/tk/MOSXS/. -
-
If you want to compile xpdf yourself, which is not hard, you can ignore -
warnings about X, Motif or FreeType not being found since these missing -
libraries won't affect the compilation of pdftops. -
-
Windows (Windows 2000 and later) -
-
By itself, Windows lacks any of the prerequisites of epspdf. However, a -
TeX installation may fill some of the gaps, and there is a special Windows -
installer which takes care of the Ruby- and Tcl/Tk requirements. See the -
table below: -
-
TeX distribution Installer Zipfile -
(1) MikTeX and TeX Live ≥ 2008 include a hidden Ghostscript which is -
always installed, and which epspdf knows how to find. Caveat: although -
older versions of TeX Live include a Ghostscript installer, it is not -
impossible to install an older TeX Live without Ghostscript, in which case -
you have to provide a Ghostscript yourself. -
(2) With TeX Live ≥ 2008, you are better off installing the TeX Live -
package, which also gives you wrappers for epspdf and epspdftk for use on -
the command-line and for on-the-fly conversions. You still need to install -
Ruby and Tcl/Tk. -
TeX Live[10](1) No additional Ruby, Tcl/Tk[11](2) -
requirements -
MiKTeX Pdftops (optional) Pdftops (optional); Ruby, -
Tcl/Tk(optional) -
Ghostscript, pdftops Ghostscript; -
Other/None (optional) pdftops(optional), Ruby, -
Tcl/Tk (optional) -
-
URLs for the prerequisites -
-
Ghostscript and GSview ([12]http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) -
Contains sources and Windows binaries. The Windows binaries come -
with standard GUI Windows setup programs. -
-
XPDF ([13]http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/) -
Sources and Windows binaries. The Windows binaries are packaged -
into a zipfile, which has to be manually unpacked. The Configure -
screen of epspdftk lets you browse for the chosen location. You -
have to do this only once. -
-
XPDF, Mac OS X binaries ([14]http://users.phg-online.de/tk/MOSXS/) -
These are universal binaries. -
-
TeX Live ([15]http://www.tug.org/texlive/) -
TeX Live ≥ 2008 includes pdftops, Ghostscript and optionally -
epspdf. -
-
MacTeX ([16]http://www.tug.org/mactex/) -
MacTeX is based on TeX Live. Its set of add-ons includes -
Ghostscript, and can be downloaded separately. -
-
The MacPorts Project ([17]http://www.macports.org/) -
MacTeX has Poppler- and xpdf packages either of which include -
pdftops. -
-
Ruby one-click installer for Windows ( -
[18]http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinstaller/) -
-
Ruby source code ([19]http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/) -
For those people who prefer to roll their own... -
-
Tcl Developer Xchange ([20]http://www.tcl.tk/) -
-
ActiveTcl from ActiveState ( -
[21]http://activestate.com/Products/ActiveTcl/ -
-
Installation -
-
First make sure that the prerequisites are met. Then: -
-
TeX Live ≥ 2008 -
-
Use TeX Live's package manager tlmgr for installation. -
-
Windows setup program -
-
Download the [22]epspdftk setup program. You can run it in the usual way, -
by double-clicking. The setup program will create entries in your start -
menu for epspdftk and for the user manual. -
-
The setup program has been created with [23]NSIS. -
-
Windows zipfile -
-
Download the [24]epspdf zip file, unpack it somewhere and create a -
batchfile epspdf.bat such as -
-
ruby "<path_to_epspdf.rb>" %* -
-
for epspdf.rb, and a batchfile epspdftk.bat -
-
wish85 "<path_to_epspdftk.tcl>" %1 -
-
for epspdftk.tcl. The wish executable might also be named wish[.exe] or -
wish84[.exe]. The first command-line parameter will be interpreted as -
startup directory for the file browser. Make sure that wish85, ruby and -
these batchfiles are on your searchpath. -
-
Epspdf[tk] has been tested with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 7. -
-
Unix/Linux -
-
Download the [25]tar.gz archive and unpack it in some directory. If you -
plan to use epspdf.rb from the command-line, create a symlink to epspdf.rb -
somewhere on your searchpath. -
-
You can do the same for epspdftk. The first command-line parameter will be -
interpreted as startup directory for the file browser. -
-
Mac OS X -
-
Although you can install as for Unix/Linux, there is also a compressed -
disk image epspdf.x.x.x.dmg.gz which wraps epspdftk into a Max OS X "app". -
Double-click once to expand, a second time to mount, then drag -
epspdftk.app to the Applications folder. -
-
Epspdf mostly duplicates functionality of Preview. But having an alternate -
conversion engine means that you can have another shot at problem files. -
-
Preview programs -
-
Windows -
-
Epspdftk will use the default Windows programs for PostScript and pdf. -
-
Unix/Linux -
-
Supported PostScript viewers include evince, gv and okular. These are also -
listed as pdf viewers. Additional pdf viewers are xpdf, kpdf, epdfview and -
acroread/Adobe Reader. You can also specify a previewer manually in the -
configuration screen; see the [26]user manual.. -
-
Mac OS X -
-
Epspdftk uses the default pdf viewer under OS X, usually Preview or Adobe -
Reader. -
-
Files -
-
* [27]epspdf.0.5.3.tgz preferred for Unix and Mac OS X -
* [28]epspdf.0.5.3.zip preferred for Windows if you don't want to use -
the installer below -

Releases -
-
0.5.3 -
Current version. Minor initialization fix for Windows. The -
AppleScript wrapper for Mac OS X no longer starts a terminal. For -
users of Linux/Unix, there is no reason to upgrade. -
-
0.5.2 -
Under Unix, wrapper scripts can now be replaced with simple -
symlinks. -
-
0.5.1 -
Bug fix for boundingbox atend. -
-
0.5 -
Ruby/Tk GUI replaced with Tcl/Tk GUI. Starpack wrapper for Windows -
setup version. -
-
0.4.3 -
Fixes for compatibility with Ruby 1.9 and, under Windows, for -
newer Ghostscript versions. Documentation updates. -
-
0.4.2 -
More liberal documentation license. Slight documentation updates. -
-
0.4.1 -
Documentation: added section on bitmaps. Windows setup program: -
added missing Tcl/Tk licenses. Mac: double-clickable epspdftk.app -
with included epspdftk replaces double-clickable epspdf.app -
add-on. -
-
0.4.0 -
Optionally uses hires boundingbox. Faster startup due to simpler -
testing of prerequisites. Grayscaling: support for HSB color -
model, although I yet have to encounter a PostScript file using -
this. Manual converted to texinfo format. Windows: new "View -
with..." button; support for MikTeX's built-in Ghostscript; -
streamlined Ruby subset, with Tcl/Tk compiled from source. -
-
0.3.0 -
Under Windows, now recognizes whether it is embedded in TeX Live -
2008 and then can use ghostscript/pdftops from TeX Live. Also -
added TeX Live wrapper scripts. Uninstaller for Windows setup -
program. Bug fixes: now accepts non-numerical version strings for -
pdftops. No longer checks for viewers under Mac OS X. -
-
0.2.12 -
Bug fixes: log rotation now works. Under Windows, sometimes -
boundingboxes couldn't be calculated. This was caused by double -
quotes within backquotes. This is now avoided by using short -
filenames within backquotes. Minor changes in user guide. -
-
0.2.11 -
Minor fixes. Changes in documentation. -
-
0.2.10 -
A computed boundingbox is now expanded by one point in all -
directions. This should prevent too-tight cropping. There is no -
interface for changing this amount; it can only be changed by -
hand-editing the bb_spread option in the .epspdfrc file or in the -
HKCU\software\epspdf registry key. -
The File Open dialog remembers the last directory visited (between -
calls, not between program sessions). -
Changes in documentation. -
-
0.2.01 -
Fixes to the Applescript applet epspdf.app for starting up -
epspdftk under Mac OS X. It picks up the terminal search path and -
no longer requires correct settings in -
$HOME/.MacOSX/environment.plist. Epspdf.app is now packaged -
separately, under Mac OS X, and now has an intact resource fork. -
It has been removed from the other archives. -
-
