Alladin Ghostscript seems to have decent support for going between Postscript and PDF. You can edit Postscript by hand with an editor, if you want. I think PDF is a binary format. I don't think you'll see too many tools to graphically edit raw Postscript files though - as it is an interpreted language based on Forth - it's much more complicated than just a bunch of vectors. I'd like to see a vector drawing package that could import EPS/PS graphics, and allow editing on that. Maybe the GNU Yellow Vector Editor project from Japan will eventually allow this (I haven't tried it yet): http://bandits.aist-nara.ac.jp/~masata-y/gyve/gyve.html I'd be interested in knowing which other ones people have experience with. I've only used xfig. The Gimp can read in EPS, I think - but then you would just get a big ugly bitmap. You might be able to use something like CorelDraw. Cheers, - Jim
