I can't remember exactly what documentation's being discussed; bilevel's
great for documents that are still pretty common but if it's something
rare then it doesn't do much on the preservation front :-(
The problem is that PS recreated from PDF can
never be as good as the
original PS from which the PDF was made.
Huh? If you have a PDF containing nothing but G4 fax compressed bilevel
images, and convert it to PS, you get the same G4 images with a different
wrapper. How is that any worse?
