Ghostscript reads PDF files every bit as well as PS files, and it's

You didn't answer my question:-) Consider I prepare a TIFF file that
contains (with additional tags) eg. some raw OCRed text, not
read-checked. Now I preapre a PDF from this and use gs to get the image
back. Is my text still there? Or do I get an image that "looks" almost
the original, but doesn't contain my extra-data?
