maybe with the -o raw option?
How do you print a pdf file? (from a GUI displaying the pdf? meaning by use of acrobat?..)

hi,
you might need to install a converter first. take a look at this website. they say they can convert any print datastream into any printer format: printtransform.com

i hope it helps,
victor
