[sdiy] OK, one of you computer geeks, explain this..

[Peter Grenader]

You can open a PDF in the programs Freehand or Illustrator, both of which
come in both Mac and PC flavors.   When they open in those programs, the
file is converted to postscript automatically.  You can then save that as an
EPS file, and you have a vector-based postscript replication of the PDF.

hope this helps.
