Where to find free software to convert PDF file to Postscript file in Solaris 8

| Hello,
Is there any free download-able Solaris 8 program to convert PDF file
to PostScript file ?
Something similiar to the pre-packaged "pdftops" program under /usr/
sfw/bin in Solaris 10.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi,
I've installed the Ghostscript 8.54 package from the Sun software
web site at our Solaris 8 server. When I tried to convert the pdf
file to the post script file, I am getting error below. Any idea ?
# /usr/local/bin/pdf2ps e3hp4_20070316T154818.066.pdf

Do you have SPARC or x86? Since Solaris 8, I'd assume SPARC.
Its available here

While ghostscript will work fine the files it generates have a
couple of limitations since ghostscript simply rasterizes everything
before generating a postscript output file. This has the effect
of both reducing the quality and causing a massive increase in file
size, which wastes disk space and may well slow things down if you
come to print the file. Someone else has already mentioned xpdf
which is a much better Open Source option.
