Yes, thanks for all your answers on this, guys. I know now what could go wrong (colours for instance). As Gimp wasn't able to open that PDF directly, I printed it into a PS file and opened that in Gimp instead. Then I exported it with 600 dpi into a jpg. The result is quite ok for two A4 pages (A3 landscape), at least Scribus shows that as default size when I import it. When I view it with 400 %, the details still appear sharp enough. If you're curious which pdf I mean: it's the London Tube map from their website. Regards Rolf
