Structured output mode - rewriting a PDF, PS or EPS to make it understandable by other programs

Your application needs to parse PostScript, EPS and PDF and import vector, text or raster image information?

PStill can convert its input not only to PDF (or with the PSRW-Type License, to PS/EPS and TIFF) but can optional generate a normalized and structured description of it.

PStill breaks down the complex PostScript and PDF 'language' to a simple set of well defined elements.

This mode is available in all newer PStills (1.72.9+) and is activated with the command line option '-m structured':

pstill -M default -m structured -o output.desc input

Using this EPS as input: test.eps (here as PDF test.pdf)

PStill generates this result: test.desc

See this documentation for details.
