Hi I've been using the compress_PDF.pl script http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Web_optimised_PDF to shrink Scribus created PDF's to make them suitable for emailing.
However, when I came across a PDF created in Scribus with transparent images (PNGs or TIFFS), saved in PDF 1.4 format, the script makes nice small PDF's still, but the transparency in the images is removed and I just get a large black areas where the transparency should be. Is there any way to shrink the PDF's and maintain transparency? I think the problem is with the pdftops function in the script. Cheers Julian
