This is pdftoplucker, a little script to convert .pdf files into
plucker format. It's as easy as running the script, using a .pdf file
as its only argument.

PREREQUISITES
=============

You'll need both pdftohtml (http://pdftohtml.sf.net/) and
plucker-build (part of plucker, http://www.plkr.org/). And as the
shell script uses the zsh, you'll need the zsh as well. (I might as
well convert this to plain sh if there is demand. Please tell me).
You should setup plucker before using this script, as it uses the
~/.plucker directory.

INSTALLATION
============

Copy the shell script somewhere in your $PATH. That's all.

RUN THE SCRIPT
==============

Just run this command:
        pdftoplucker path/to/some/file.pdf
Please note:
1. The file to be converted needs the ending ".pdf", all lowercase
   letters. ".PDF" might not work as expected.
2. You should set plucker's maxwidth, maxheight, alt_maxwidth, and
   alt_maxheight values. I use the following in my ~/.pluckerrc:
        maxwidth      = 460
        maxheight     = 250
        alt_maxwidth  = 0
        alt_maxheight = 0
