Something like this could be used in my workflow for Scribus covers 
destined for LSI printer. My current workflow is export the file as 
pdf1.4, view it in Acrobat Reader, print it to file creating 
a "flattened" Postscript file, and finally convert the ps file to pdf 
1.3 with ps2pdf13.  This is the only way I know to keep LSI from 
trashing transparencies, gradients etc.
