I'm suspicious that there is an issue in xsane, since pdf I create with other 
tools work really well for both Windows and Mac. What does pdfinfo say about the 
file, anything useful? I swear I had a command called pdftopdf which was useful 
for bad stuff others sent me, but I can't find it, it is/was part of cups.

I use other software to write pdf, so I can't give you any more info that that.
