I'm working on a project at my University in which I need some sort of program to convert at the least PDF files to Postscript, but TIFF conversion would be a plus as well. Any help would be appreciated." If there's not, this is a tool that thousands of people would like to see.

    Sheesh. Of all the slop that gets posted on /. I can't figure out what magic fscking criteria this question made in order to get accepted. Duh! use FRESHMEAT.NET to find this sort of thing out. Maybe just grab a brain and first check out ghostscript. Fsck!!!

    Ghostscript includes pdf2ps. libtiff provides tiff2ps and fax2ps. Both are shipped as part of Red Hat, RPMs available in the usual places.

  3. Ghostscript for PDF by raju1kabir · · Score: 4

    With recent versions of ghostscript, you can use a line like this to convert myfile.pdf to myfile.ps:

    gs -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=myfile.ps myfile.pdf
