Apparently, the program expects a proper X
display to be configured. You could try
setting your DISPLAY variable appropriately,
or else look for a command-line option to
cause the program to run in a display-free
mode.

Hi,

To use acroread to convert I think you need to tell it on the command line...

acroread -toPostScript file.pdf

If you just give acroread a pdf name on the command line it will try and render it on the display.

Hope this helps,

Regards,
