Hi Sveinn, thanks for your elaborate and helpfull answer.
My aim in the moment is not to become an DTP-Expert, but just to make a magazine of 20 pages, DINA4. The quality should not be such, that graphic experts and professional printers go into extasy and rapture. :-) But the people, who send me their pdfs should be able to recognize their adverts on the first look and not ask me, what I have done to their photos and colors. I now tried to open the pdf with gimp, save it as tif and then import it into gimp. When I then export, the result in the adobe reader looks much better. Is this solid a way? Hope this email comes as pure text, as a.l.e suggested ... Thanks again Thomas Sveinn ?
