1. Any Ghostscript release from the past few years
does PDF quite nicely.
You have a choice of a command line interface (very useful for doing
batch conversions from PDF to something more usable) or a point-and-drool
shell ("GhostView", aka "gv"). Ghostscript is available for many
platforms,
it is independent of any specific windowing system, and it is quite usable
on platforms which lack graphic displays at all. For details, see
This works really nice under W31 and is fairly fast too. It also allows
for some nifty printing hacks!
As I remember now ghostscript also can digest TIFF... have to try that
out.
