-
-   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)

-                                                 Tcl/Tk(optional)
-                        Ghostscript, pdftops     Ghostscript;
-        Other/None      (optional)               pdftops(optional), Ruby,

-  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.

-
-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.0.5.2.tgz preferred for Unix and Mac OS X
-     * [28]epspdf.0.5.2.zip preferred for Windows if you don't want to use
-       the installer below
-     * [29]epspdf.0.5.2.exe Windows setup program, including Ruby subset. The
-       epspdftk script has been packaged with a basic Tcl/Tk into a single

-Releases
-
-   0.5.2
-           Current version. 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.
-
-   0.2

+
   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.

  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.

+
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
+

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.
+

+
   0.2
+
           Original release
