[Tioga-users] converting PDF to EPS on the Mac

[Bill Paxton]

Hello,

Some journals seem to insist on getting figures in PostScript rather  
than PDF which means a final conversion step for Tioga figures.   
There are various ways to do this (some of which use ghostscript I  
know), but there is now a very easy to use solution for the Mac.

It comes from here:
http://insti.physics.sunysb.edu/~siegel/x.shtml

First, you need to install xpdf-tools
	http://users.phg-online.de/tk/MOSXS/xpdf-tools-3.dmg
	
Then install droppdftoeps
	http://insti.physics.sunysb.edu/~siegel/Droppdftoeps.dmg
	
drag the icon to applications and to the dock.
then drag and drop a pdf file for the figure to the droppdftoeps icon,
and soon after a eps version of the file appears in the same folder.

seems to work (based on 2 tests, one line plot and one sampled image  
plot).

Cheers,
Bill
