Package: xpdf-utils Version: 3.01-6 Severity: normal I created an EPS file from a PDF file[1] (large download) using "pdftops -eps FortOrdFairMap.pdf", and then tried to run it through poster. However, the generated EPS uses some clever tricks to include the bitmap portions of the document, which allow '%' to appear at the beginning of a line. poster assumes that these lines are comments and omits them from its output, resulting in a broken file.
I am not a PostScript expert, so I can't comment on the propriety of this EPS file, but perhaps the bitmap inclusion technique could be modified not to use % at the beginning of a line. Meanwhile, I'll look at fixing poster to pass through "comments".
