Ok, I tried

	/usr/sfw/bin/gs -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=x11alpha -dBATCH 
-sOutputFile:/home/ahoesch/AAA/%d.tiff -r72x72 /home/ahoesch/Test.pdf

I am actually trying to generate TIFFS (one per page) that can then be 
displayed in an app using NSImage.

	/usr/sfw/bin/gs -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -dBATCH 
-sOutputFile:/home/ahoesch/AAA/%d.tiff -r72x72 /home/ahoesch/Test.pdf

generated images with poor quality. I tried -r288x288. This got better 
but is probably teh wrong route for display on screen. When using 
-sDEVICE=x11alpha I get no TIFFs. The pages are presented on a screen 
and vanisch after half a second. Well, I am still reading the 
documentation and studyingthe options.

I just want to know is using gs my best bet or should I rather study 
the Vindaloo sources - I suppose they take a different route - and try 
to add print capability to this application? Is anybody already working 
on this?
