Hello:

I have a normal pdf file (with text and embedded fonts) that I would like to convert to a pdf file which has all the pages as embedded images. In other words I want to imitate the process of printing the pdf out to paper sheets and then scanning the printed pages to a pdf file.

I guess this should be doable using the command line, but which program? ghostscipt or imagemagick etc, and how to do it exactly?

But why? It will be impossible to search for text, for instance, or to voice read it. Also uncomfortable on portable readers, because the pages can not be resized. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
