I've extended the "alternate pdftops filter" to use either xpdf's pdftops or
Adobe Reader (acroread) as the real filter program, and it works using
Reader 7.0x.

I'm just adding some sugar (e.g. to configure it to use either program,
one of it preferred but the other one selectable by a command line
option (e.e. job attribute)).

I'll post it to the links section of cups.org until tomorrow afternoon.

Be patient ...

Helge
