</div>thanks a lot, anne, this led me to:<br>
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/issues/detail?id=463" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/issues/detail?id=463</a><br>
<br>
supposedly, it helps to apply ghostscript on the "ugly" PDF like this:<br>
<br>
$ gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.7 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen<br>
-dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=Energiforsyning.fixed3.pdf<br>
Energiforsyning.pdf<br>
<br>
i did this and the result is at<br>
<a href="http://www.ljudmila.org/%7Eluka/an-open-web-rootless-error-fixed.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.ljudmila.org/~luka/an-open-web-rootless-error-fixed.pdf</a><br>
<br>
note i did not get any message from gs like the issue describes.<br>
the pdf looks ok to me and is actually smaller than the original.<br>
<br>
can someone retest with this one?<br>
