#   pdf2mtiff
#
#     Rasterizes a PDF file, saving as a single multipage g4 compressed
#     tiff file
#
#     input:  PDF file
#             output file
#     output: ccitt-g4 compressed mulitipage tiff file
#
#  Note 1:  Requires ghostscript
#  Note 2:  If you give it images with bpp > 1, the result will be ugly.
#  Note 3:  A modern alternative to ghostcript is to use poplar:
#    If the pdf is composed of images that were orthographically generated:
#          pdftoppm -png <pdf-file> <pdf-root>    [output in png]
#    If the pdf is composed of images that were scanned:
#          pdftoppm -jpeg <pdf-file> <pdf-root>   [output in jpeg]
