Hi Till, thanks a lot for your help.

I moved the document using sudo mv.... into the directory /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops and renamed the original pdftops into pdftops2. I used the command chmod 755 as indicated by you. When I look at the file properties it says "Allow executing file as program". However, user of the file is not root but me. Furthermore, the file type is "shell script (application/x-shellscript"), whereas the original file type is "shared library (application/x-sharedlib)". These differences probably account for the fact that the change hasn't improved anything. It is probably quite simple for some to change the file type and user of the file. However, it would take me at least an hour to find out using ubuntu-wiki. Maybe you could just briefly tell me the necessary commands.

Thanks a lot

Kilian
