PDF to EPS via file compression (JPEG)

README.md

Converting pdf to eps

First convert to jpg (via convert, which is just imagemagick):

for x in pdf_images/*.pdf
do
filename=$(basename -- "$x")
extension="${filename##*.}"
filename="${filename%.*}"
convert -background white -alpha remove pdf_images/${filename}.pdf jpg_images/${filename}.jpg
done

Then convert to eps via ghostscript:

for x in jpg_images/*.jpg
do
filename=$(basename -- "$x")
extension="${filename##*.}"
filename="${filename%.*}"
convert jpg_images/${filename}.jpg eps3:eps_images/${filename}.eps
done
