    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.

    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.

    - -

    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 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:

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.

    Download the 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.

    This is a conventional Windows installer. If it does not find +texlua.exe on the searchpath then it gives a warning and a chance to +abort. It creates a shortcut to the epspdftk GUI and it also creates +an uninstaller.

    It installs epspdftk in the form of a so-called +starpack, which +consists of the epspdftk script and a Tcl/Tk runtime, wrapped into +a single file. The command-line script epspdf.tlu remains a separate +file.

-  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).

-  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
