Check them out how?  pdftoimage, I would imagine, makes a scanned pdf
image into a .gif or .jpeg or something.  Is that right?  Then I'd try to
view it with zgv or something and see if it checks out?  I can sort of
understand how I'd do something like this.  As for pdftops, I'm at a loss.
I don't have any printer, let alone a ps printer.  I do use a fake
postscript printer under M$Win to print .doc files to .ps files so I can
convert them to .pdf using ps2pdf.  But I don't see how that would allow
me to check how your friend's pdftops converter is working.  How does one
go about checking the integrity of a .ps file anyway?  What do I look for?
Is it enough to just run the program on a file without it returning error
messages to confirm that it's ok?  I need more instructions.
