PostScript files out of PDFBox seem to be bloated

[Clark, Raymond C]

Hi,

I am using PDFBox to create PDFs and that is working great.  I need to take 
those PDF files and produce PostScript files from them.  I can do that but the 
file is bloated.  I am creating the content streams with compress = true.  It 
seems to be that the following code is producing the PS file as an image of the 
page instead of extracting the text and images and coding that as a PostScript 
file.  Is it possible to use PDFBox to create a PostScript file with the text 
in it instead of an image of the page?

This is a snippet of the code I am using to create the PostScript file:

             pdfGenerator.finishFileCreation();
             DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED.PRINTABLE;
             StreamPrintServiceFactory[] factories =
                           
StreamPrintServiceFactory.lookupStreamPrintServiceFactories(flavor,
                                        
DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY.POSTSCRIPT.getMimeType());
             if (factories.length == 0) {
                    throw new PrinterException("No PostScript factories 
available");
             }
             PDDocument document = pdfGenerator.getDocument();

             PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
             aset.add(MediaSizeName.NA_LETTER);
//         aset.add(Sides.DUPLEX);

             DocAttributeSet daset = new HashDocAttributeSet();
//           daset.add(Compression.GZIP);

             FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(filePathAndName);
             Map<Integer, String> pageLayoutMap = 
pdfGenerator.getPageLayoutMap();
             for (int i = 1; i <= document.getNumberOfPages(); i++) {
                    aset.add(new PageRanges(i, i));
                    if 
(pageLayoutMap.get(i).equals(PDFGenerator.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE)) {
                           aset.add(OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);
                    } else {
                           aset.add(OrientationRequested.PORTRAIT);
                    }
                    factories[0].getPrintService(fos).createPrintJob().print(
                                 new SimpleDoc(new PDFPrintable(document, 
Scaling.ACTUAL_SIZE, false), flavor, daset), aset);
             }
             fos.close();
             document.close();

Thank you,
Ray
