I'm running under Ubuntu Maverick and when I convert a pdf to ps using pdftops the ps file has several problems.
1) When opening it in Image Viewer there is a approx. 5sec delay when zooming in and the text seams somewhat pixelated.
2) When importing the ps file into Scribus (either development or stable version) I get the fatal error message:
Importing file failed!
This only happens when I use XeTex. If I remove the XeTex elements and just use pdfLatex for the same file it's fine. I've also tried using Gummi;Texmaker and Lyx with the same results.
Has anyone else experienced this ?

Re: Problem converting XeTex PDF to PS
Well I haven't found a solution to this other than to output to SVG instead using pdf2svg.

Why do you need a PS file?
Have you tried pdf2ps instead?

Re: Problem converting XeTex PDF to PS
There are certain elements that are just too time consuming/difficult to format with Latex so I'm exporting to eps and using Scribus. Yes I've tried pdf2ps and pdftops neither worked.
