Stuff like that is on my wishlist but I currently have no such plans. Embedding PDF in PostScript files requires a PDF interpreter. PDFBox has the beginnings of one but it needs more work. I think Ben Litchfield (the primary author of PDFBox) would be happy get help/resources to improve that part. Having a good Java-based PDF interpreter/viewer that is liberally licensed would be a great thing in the first place. The alternative (depends on licensing options) is to use GhostScript (GPL/commercial license) to convert PDF to EPS. EPS is directly supported by the PDF renderer.
Embedding PostScript in PDF requires a PostScript interpreter. There's no decent one, yet, in the Java world so you end up with GhostScript again. Depending on "how useful" this functionalty is to your company, we could talk off-list about some sponsoring. ;-) On 15.01.2008 22:11:09 Kamal Bhatt wrote: > Jeremias Maerki wrote: > > Thanks.
