Also, the characters were properly displayed with the pdf2ps tool (although some of the pages displayed in landscape instead of portrait).

Yes, it only needs a wrapper script similar to what you have for wrapping xpdf's pdftops. I'm
going to write such a script during next week or so (I need such a beast for myself
