I have a small improvement:
    (progn
      (shell-command (concat "cd " postscript-dir "; "
                             "gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite"
                             "   -dNOPAUSE"
                             "   -dSAFER"
                             "   -sOUTPUTFILE=" output-file
                             "   -f meander.eps"
                             " " input-file))
      (when (get-buffer output-file)
        (kill-buffer output-file))
      (find-file (concat postscript-dir output-file))
      )

It looks like -dBATCH was doing nothing. Also -dQUIT suppressed things
that I think are useful.

Also a ‘problem’ was the message you get when you did not close the
buffer with the PDF. So I build in that the buffer is closed when it
is open, before opening it.
