which lists pdftricks well down its list, and starts its description
Another more elegant way, but much more difficult is to use the
pdftricks package.
though i admit it does list a ctan location for the package... (after
sarovar.org)
the page actually recommends pst-pdf:
The best solution is to use the package pst-pdf which itself needs the
newest preview package, available from CTAN.
since i've never used pstricks "in anger", i really have no actual
opinion about the issue.
