I tried to do this once because binary images would inevitably have a 
ctrl-d in them. Stripping them out doesn't work, nor does converting 
them. And on the mac, there's no reliable, simple way to tell if the 
ctrl-d is part of a binary image. But if the ctrl-d's are in a certain 
place (before %%BeginDocument or after %%EOF) then they're probably safe 
to strip.
