... but I see that also in Kpdf and Xpdf the resulting pdf: http://www.bojer.no/Ariadne2006/ariadnes_aarbok2006-omslag-TilTrykking-EttBilde-ICCprofil.pdf (mentioned above) is viewed in *green*, not gray(ish). So it seems to me the colour profile solved it after all -- I just used the standard one (for all kinds of images). But, of course the real exam will stand tomorrow when the printer has gotten his/her hand on it ... Jon? Did you make a try? If not, perhaps time to sleep? :-D Again, thanks for all help! Axel Bojer
