You can't do any automated transcoding just like that. It's not that easy. The big problem about your whole transcoding stuff is that a transcoded document is not the same document anymore. Say, that I create a PDF document where most information is vector graphic. If the client ask for us-ascii text, an automated transcoding program will simply drop all things which are not bare text, and my PDF will look like crap. That's why in my opinion, applying *any* automated transcoding is wrong. If I want my document to be readable by C64 owners, I will write it in a way that will allow that.
