It would be nice if someone could explain the differences in a standard PDF generated by Scribus and the PDF that comes about from use of the script. There obviously must be data which is lost in the process. I was just thinking the other day that when one chooses output for Screen/Web, this should also produce a smaller PDF, more or less by definition, or at least by default. Greg
