Instead, Scribus creates "print-ready" PDFs, which serve as some kind of intermediate between the designer and the printer. The final "format" is the printed product.

Hmm, that surprises me a bit, since I use it for PDF creation as well.
Good to know that this is not the purpose of scribus.

Do you know any tools that can be used on scribus generated PDF files to
"polish" them, to make them "good" PDFs?  Some postprocessing tools?

Thanks for any hints,

Marc
