Peter! You did it!

You were absolutely right about it! Replacing all gifs with scribus own 
elements (lines, circles etc.) lead to a perfect pdf output for acrobat 7.

Thank you very much for your effort's! We - my wife and I (its her 
project ;-)- really appreciate your help. We are looking forward to the 
ongoing development!

Sincerely Krischan
