I've tried "pstoedit" and at the beginning it seems to be very good, but I
don't know how to make it work. I've tried to do:

pstoedit -f latex2e input.pdf output.tex

(where input.pdf is a paper with figures and equations)

but it gives me a lot of errors that I don't know how to solve.


Thanks anyway
