Thanks a lot for quick reply!

Tried the "true setoverprint" as you mentioned, but didn't help. I'm using the tiffsep ghostscript device for checking like sdaau did.

I'm wondering if it made a difference to first convert the rgb-PDF to cmyk and then apply your procedure? It appears Postscript defines overprinting only for subtractive color models like cmyk, not for additive ones like rgb. And forceblack.ps is assuming an rbg color model, isn't it? Again, feel not in a position to quickly modify forceblack.ps to cmyk colorspace. Would that be a big thing for you?-)

Thanks again!
Ole
