I'll try to make a small summary to explain what I did and what are the results at this point. Windows platform 1. The original.pdf file was generated directly from Scribus (1.3.7). The size of the file is approx. 9 MB. Text in the document is considered as a text and can be highlighted, copied/pasted and searched. If a Scribus 1.4 is used a text is not recognized "correctly". Linux environment 2. I opened original.pdf in both Evince and Okular. I tried to save original.pdf as a copy but the output pdf file was the same in size. 3. I printed original.pdf into .ps file (both in Evince and Okular). Afterwards .ps file was transformed into .pdf again. To do so a ps2pdf14 was used. A new.pdf made by means of Evince.ps was shrunk to 1,5 MB without any loose in quality. A new.pdf made by means of Okular.ps was enlarged to 11 MB Unfortunately text in both versions of new.pdf wasn't considered as a regular text any more. However it could be highlighted, pasting and searching didn't work. 4. I changed (manually) a file extension from original.pdf to original.ps. Afterwards I used a ps2pdf14. I got a new.pdf file a little bit bigger then previously (2,3 MB) but with a regular text. Any comments on that? Regards, gordom
