You must mean pdftops, since pstopdf cannot convert pdf files into eps
but pdftops can.
I tried pdftops, the result quality is high, but since my desire is to
provide eps figures to others that have to insert high quality figures
into Microsoft Word, the pdftops converted eps files cannot insert into
Microsoft Word. Fortunately, I have found out that pstopdf uses
ghostscript/Inkscape to do the real job, and I use ghostscript directly
to convert pdf into eps, the quality is high enough with the -dNOCACHE
option (I had tried inkscape before my last posting a few weeks ago, and
the resulting quality is not high enough when I'm using Fedora 16. But
it seems that inkscape in Fedora 17 produces better quality now, though
ghostscript is better), and it can be recognized by Microsoft Word.
Thanks for the information.
