Voila - you have a potentially VERY different PDF than you started
with!!
Redistillation (aka refrying) is NOT an approved technique by
Adobe due to the numerous translations/transformations that the data goes
through - FIRST in the downgrading from PDF->PS (as PDF's support a number
of things that PS doesn't) and then again in the actual distillation
process based on the Distiller job options.
Redistillation - JUST SAY NO!
