DjVu application, and id *does* contain Type3 fonts the glyphs of which are bitmaps. But the file is by no means DSC compliant, so that is probably why the pkfix-helper complains. And, as the Type3 fonts in this document do not provide a proper encoding array, the PDF is de facto not searchable (the converted text looks like garbage). Helge
