I am using the "transcript" software from adobe. You have to
buy it though..... (I am not sure of the price. We have a source
license here at UC Berkeley).

I think there is a public domain system, ghostscript, that does what
you want. It is ftp'able from Univ of Utah machines (I think
jaguar.utah.edu).
