Hi,

I am pretty sure I am not using the alternate pdftops filter: pdftops: ELF 
32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, 
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

How can I add the fitplot option and were ? I presume in mime.convs right 
next to the pdftops definition but what is the syntax ? something like:

application/pdf         application/postscript  33      pdftops 
fitplot=yes

I was not able to find anything in the docs.

Thanks,
Tudor

Perhaps you use the alternate pdftops filter which is in fact a wrapper
(written in Perl) around the pdftops utility V 3.00 from the Xpdf suite.
It may confdigured using a configuration file (see the pdftops manual
page
for details).
If necessary, you may easily introduce additional job options to this
filter
wrapper provided they are compatibel with the pdfrops utility.
