we have been trying to convert PDF into PS for one of the projects. Our PDF files are little big and we use PDFTOPS which takes long time to convert it and it's a freeware.
Is there any licensed version of such kind of tool?
Responses are really appreciated. (2 Replies)

Does anyone know any good tools to convert a pdf to word, I can usually cut & paste without a hitch but I have a pdf that doesn't like that and surrounds text with lines as though a table or prints tables in miniscule text.
It's only one pdf file so I'm reluctant to buy a product. (3 Replies)

We're looking for a program that can convert Text and PCL formats into a PDF. We're not looking to spend a fortune so my search so far has come up empty handed as everyone wants an arm and a leg. I found txt2pdf, but that doesn't support PCL formats. Any help would be appreciated.

FRONTEND-SPEC(7) FRONTEND-SPEC(7)
NAME
frontend-spec - interface between jw and its frontends
DESCRIPTION
jw(1) calls frontends like frontends/docbook to get the informations specific to a given input format. The frontend knows which information
to return from the first command line parameter. It gets all necessary data via environment variables ready to use.
This document describes that command line parameter and those environment variables.
The frontend should return 0 if there weren't any problem, and return a positive value otherwise.
VARIABLES
$1
The command line parameter, specifying which information to return. It can take the following values:
centralized-catalog
The frontend must return the DTD-specific centralized catalog name. Centralized catalogs normally reside in /etc/sgml and
provide the location of all the catalog files useful for handling this input type (the catalog for the DTD, the catalog for
the stylesheets, the catalog for the entities,
style-sheet
The frontend must return the filename of the style sheet to be used for this document type and with the chosen backend.
SGML_CATALOGS_DIR
The directory where the centralized catalogs reside. It is normally /etc/sgml.
(This variable is valid only while determining the centralized catalog to use.)
SGML_BASE_DIR
The base directory of the SGML system. It is normally /usr/share/sgml.
(This variable is valid only while determining the style sheet to use.)
SGML_FILE
The name of the file to convert.
(This variable is valid only while determining the centralized catalog to use.)
SGML_TYPE
The type of the backend to use, whether it produces output files to be displayed online or to be printed out. It can take the value
html or print.
(This variable is valid only while determining the style sheet to use).
SGML_STYLESHEETS
The desired custom stylesheet type, either none or default. If none, the frontend must return the file name of the style sheet pro-
vided by the system beneath the docbook-utils. If default, the frontend must return the custom stylesheet provided by the docbook-
utils.
(This variable is valid only while determining the style sheet to use).
SGML_XML
The metalanguage of the file to convert, either sgml or xml.
(This variable is valid only while determining the centralized catalog to use).
