Yes, thanks for all your answers on this, guys.

I know now what could go wrong (colours for instance). As Gimp wasn't 
able to open that PDF directly, I printed it into a PS file and opened 
that in Gimp instead.

Then I exported it with 600 dpi into a jpg. The result is quite ok for 
two A4 pages (A3 landscape), at least Scribus shows that as default size 
when I import it. When I view it with 400 %, the details still appear 
sharp enough.

If you're curious which pdf I mean: it's the London Tube map from their 
website.
