Have you tried some of the PDF-printers available ?
That is, you would make your PDF from Scribus, then open in 
Acrobat Reader (or similar) and print the document to such a 
PDF-printing software, outputting it as another PDF-file. 
There may be huge differences.
But as I recall, these PDF-printers give you more or often 
less control over how the PDFs are printed.

Best regards
