Greetings -

Idiot in Da House time. First, thanks for all the effort to address this long standing, complex and frustrating issue. Greatly appreciated.

Now to business. I've extracted the Windows version, copied a pdf into that directory, opened a command prompt, cd'd over to that directory and typed "pi old.pdf new.pdf". As soon as I said ".pdf", most of you started shaking your heads, I know - pi is looking for pgm or pbm files.

I'm reasonably intelligent, but not a programmer. I haven't been able to figure out how to create either of these file types from reading the thread. Is there some kind soul out there who can show me how to learn and take advantage of this fine conversion program?

Looking forward to your reply. Thank you!
