It seems I talked too fast, regarding compatibility with Leopard.

Just installed, on Leopard, xpdf-tools-3.dmg then:

- Uncompressed epspdf.0.2.12.tgz and moved the epspdf directory to / 
Applications/.

- Uncompressed epspdf_app.0.2.01.zip and moved the two files  
epspdf.app and epspdf.applescript to /Applications/epspdf/.

Bu that doesn't seem to work: every time I launch epspdf.app, I get  
the warning "No PostScript- or pdf viewer found" and the View button  
is dimmed.

I did create a file /usr/local/bin/epspdf containing:

#!/bin/sh
/Applications/epspdf/epspdf.rb $*

and took care the set the executable bit to true (namely, "sudo chmod a 
+x epspdf"). But, as might have been anticipated, that has no effect  
on the problem.

One thing I noticed, after looking at epspdfrc.rb, is that no file  
~/.epspdfrc is created. Could this be related? If I interpret  
correctly these lines from epspdf.rb:

if not $settings.pdf_viewer
   Tk.messageBox( :icon=>'warning', :type=>'ok', :message =>
     "No PostScript- or pdf viewer found" )

the warning is issued when the pdf_viewer variable isn't set, right?
