Leonard, What do you mean by "fidelity"?
Native PDF processing tools such as PDF Optimizer, PDF Enhancer, QABOT,
PitStop, etc. should be used instead so as to maintain the integrity and
fidelity of the original document.
There are a number of features of PDF that can't be represented by Postscript - transparency, ICC profiles, certain types of smooth shadings, etc. Not to mention non-content elements, hyperlinks, bookmarks, metadata, etc.
So going DOWN to Postscript from PDF can incur data LOSS, thus lack of fidelity of conversion.
