Does anyone know of a free source code to do this? Is there one available for linux? I know there are many similar approaches such as pdf2ps utilities. Just wondering.
I like linux because of the free gcc compiler. It allows me to compile any source code that is gcc compliant. Your post does help, I'm perhaps being too optimistic thinking file conversion of these types are "just laying around" and can be easily accessed. Ideally I would like to have a "rosetta stone" on a linux box to help our department cut down on the tiresome conversion process.
