Hello together,
I use pdfLaTeX and include a lot of pdf-graphics which I generate in the
following way: GIF -> (XFIG + XV) -> EPS -> (epstopdf) -> PDF
Until now no problem. Recently however I upgraded ghostscript from 5.x to 7.x
and realized that pdf-files generated in the above way got look quite ugly
now. The problem is that apparently the default settings for the pdfwriter
device in ghostscript have changed such that images are by default
JPG-encoded (AutoFilterColorImages, ColorImageFilter, EncodeColorImages, ..).
Of course this looks ugly for screenshots.
I could solve the problem by executing ghostscript with the right parameters,
however there is no chance to hand over these parameters through epstopdf. So
I hacked a new version of epstopdf (2.8) which gives the user the opportunity
to specify these paramters if he wants.
Unfortunately, I don't exactly now where to post the new version since I
found no offical epstopdf home page (the version on CTAN is QUITE old, still
version 2.5, TeXLive comes with the newest version I'm aware of: 2.7).
I hope the new version can be usfull to others as well an that you guys know
how to put it to the right place.
Any comments are always welcome.
Sincerely,
Volker Simonis

# Change by Thomas Esser, Sept. 1998: The above lines allows us to find

# construction should work with most shells.
use strict;
# A script to transform an EPS file so that:
# a) it is guarenteed to start at the 0,0 coordinate
# b) it sets a page size exactly corresponding to the BoundingBox
# This means that when Ghostscript renders it, the result needs no
# cropping, and the PDF MediaBox is correct.
# c) the result is piped to Ghostscript and a PDF version written
#
# It needs a Level 2 PS interpreter.
# If the bounding box is not right, of course, you have problems...
#
# The only thing I have not allowed for is the case of
# "%%BoundingBox: (atend)", which is more complicated.

#
# History
# 1999/05/06 v2.5 (Heiko Oberdiek)
# * New options: --hires, --exact, --filter, --help.
# * Many cosmetics: title, usage, ...
# * New code for debug, warning, error
# * Detecting of cygwin perl
# * Scanning for %%{Hires,Exact,}BoundingBox.
# * Scanning only the header in order not to get a wrong
# BoundingBox of an included file.
# * (atend) supported.
# * uses strict; (earlier error detecting).
# * changed first comment from '%!PS' to '%!';
# * corrected (atend) pattern: '\s*\(atend\)'
# * using of $bbxpat in all BoundingBox cases,
# correct the first white space to '...Box:\s*$bb...'
# * corrected first line (one line instead of two before 'if 0;';
# 2000/11/05 v2.6 (Heiko Oberdiek)
# * %%HiresBoundingBox corrected to %%HiResBoundingBox
# 2001/03/05 v2.7 (Heiko Oberdiek)
# * Newline before grestore for the case that there is no
# whitespace at the end of the eps file.
# 2003/02/20 v2.8 (Volker Simonis)
# * Added options for handing over the Adobe Destiller Paramters to GS

Examples for producing 'test.pdf':
* $program test.eps
* produce postscript | $program --filter >test.pdf
* produce postscript | $program -f -d -o=test.pdf
Example: look for HiResBoundingBox and produce corrected PostScript:
* $program -d --nogs -hires test.ps>testcorr.ps
