PDF is basically PS,

If the file was in fact written in some higher-level language like LaTeX, docbook, or *.doc, then the conversion to PS looses a lot of the nice features of these higher-level languages (logical markup like "typeset this as a section heading", "typeset this as you typeset all program names"). You can't recover that from PS, and it wouldn't be my preferred form for modification. Regards, Frank -- Frank K�ster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Z�rich Debian Developer
