True. But if you do a search on it online (using DuckDuckGo, but why
should that matter?) I find that the above should produce the desired

Meanwhile, I accidentally found a substitute way:

pdf2ps file.pdf
ps2eps file.ps

Which still does not explain why something that I tried out a month ago
has become inapplicable. 

Many thanks!!
