Hi Holger, > So, is this recommendation still true?
I am not sure, really. If the document processes correctly, then it seems to be fine. You can also check the embedded fonts, and in particular whether all fonts are Type1 and not pixel fonts. The recommendation for cm-super was for getting scalable fonts instead of pixel fonts, which in pdf is by far recommedable.
