Oh and scribus uses lower resolution pictures to display in the image frame. The original image gets embedded into the final pdf. > > AFAIK Scribus rasterizes a pdf when it gets imported.

My printer ususally dies if it gets postscript containing an high res picture bigger then A5. > That's a good idea - never had to do with it before - how would you > write that line?

How about resolution? convert -density 300 original.pdf output.tif This will generate you a multipage tif (until now I didn't even know this was possible) if the pdf has multiple pages in the same color space that the original pdf was in. For more options see the ImageMagick homepage (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php). There are a lot of options, so it is best to check the homepage for stuff like color profiles or color space conversion. Jan
