Hi,

thanks for answering, but, for some reason, it doesn't work for me. 
Still am not able to get a correct output: many glyphs are just wrong 
with PDF files, and I can't work at all with EPS files (fonts 
missing).

Maybe I can just state my problem: I produce EPS files with dvips, 
and I want to get from them PICT files (to be used as a preview in 
Tom Kiffe's macdvi). I know how to do this with Photoshop, with 
raster previews, but I'd like to do the same with vector previews, 
and this is why I was considering Illustrator.

Ideas?
