What features would you lose? PDF is basically PostScript without all the programmability. Do you gain them back when you convert the other way, ps2pdf? I just converted a file from pdf to ps and then from ps to pdf again. The second pdf file was only slightly smaller than the original. PS and PDF are a lot closer related than JPEG and Gif. -- John Culleton, Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" $5.95 at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html Free eps format barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/
