ANN: alternate pdftops filter 1.10

The Perl script "alternate pdftops filter" has been enhanced to additionally support
the Adobe reader (acroread) as the real filter program.

This has been done, as the xpdf based solution (mine as well as the official CUPS one)
have difficulties converting certain variants of CID fonts.

Under certain precautions (see the embedded documentation within the script source)
both variants (pdftops and acroread) can be supported in parallel, but one of them
must be selected as the default, the other one then may be selected by a job attribute.

Enjoy.

Helge
