Converting PDF to EPS Format

If you want to convert PDF to EPS without using text tools and have some additional options, like cropping the image, use Gimp.

Gimp is installed on our thinlinc terminals, if you need it for your home computer or notebook you can get the newest version here: Official Homepage
