# psfilter.simple -- Convert pdf and text to postscript.  Control of
# duplexing for postscript files is via the insertion of a duplexing
# control line as the second line of the postscript file.  This seems
# to work for pdftops, pdf2ps, and cairo output.  It doesn't work for
# postscript files created by enscript.  Instead, enscript duplexing
# is controlled by a command line option in enscript.  Duplex on pdf
# files is controlled by a pdftops flag.

# Needs pstopdf from xpdf and enscript.
