[comp.sys.mac.apps] How do you get Freedom of the Press to generate PICT files?

There must surely be a way to get Freedom of the Press to generate PICT files
or 300dpi resolution bitmaps because it does this internally when it translates
postscript. Anybody know how?

One way is to take the output for a printer and extract the bitmap from that.
Too complicated. Another is to use a quickdraw driver to generate the
PICT file. I tried Print2PICT but that didn't work. FOP could not initialize
it. Preview 2.0 does not work either - same problem. Both of these drivers
want me to specify which port to use. I don't use any port since I don't
have a printer attached.

Any advice appreciated.
