Just curious: how well is photoshop pdf today? It used to be non valid pdf for viewers ... Also: watch out when saving-as-pdf in illustrator (actually pdf is kind of the native illustrator format since v 9): you get everything twice: once as edit stream (moved some 7000 points in the margin) and as preview (as well as a bunch of ps code in a stream). Saving ai files in minimal pdf with proper boundingbox was discussed recently with adobe (tex-adobe meeting a couple of weeks ago). > > ...; btw: quite funny to be able to search for invisible text). >That feature is for scanned documents with OCR'ed text.
