Hi :) Yeh, people often send me their posters as Pdfs and even if i spend ages trying to clean them up in Gimp they still look a bit wobbly compared to the way their original looked in Word or whatever. It drives me nuts that i can't ask them to send me their original without totally confusing them and getting a reputation as being a "difficult person". LibreOffice seems to be about the only Office Suite that can write uncompressed Pdfs. This hybrid thing rocks!!
