Helge,

Hmmm, I like your recommendation, just a few questions;

my pdftops appears to be a older version (/usr/bin/pdftops: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped) or I don't know how to check it for version correctly or not, if it is not the suggest version 3.02 how do I get it?

Also I am not sure what you mean by ""alternate pdftops filter"

I do really apprentice all your help.

Richard
