[pdftex] PSUtils equivalent for pdftex output.

[John Culleton]

In times past I used EPS files and plain TeX to make up 
music booklets. Now I am trying to change  to using png 
files and pdftex.

 But I am caught in a dilemma. If I say \pdfoutput =1 then 
the very useful PSUtils such as psbook and psselect won't 
work, because the output is in pdf form of course. 

If I say \pdfoutput=-1 then the output is dvi but I cannot 
include png graphics.
 
If there were a set of pdf utilities similar to PSutils then 
my problem would be solved.  But the name pdfutils has been 
used to designate a simple text to pdf convertor.

The process of creating a pdf file, then converting it back 
to ps for further manipulation seems a bit clumsy. but 
right now that is the only game in town. 

Does anyone know of pdf equivalents for psbook and psselect?
