This may perhaps not be valid anymore because my file might be ok, the 
pdf-one:

?
If not, and you still want to help, you may -- with wathever DTP program 
you wish (but I think you use Scribus on mac?). Make a new file with the 
dimensions: 315 mm=width and 216 mm=height. The image:
http://www.bojer.no/Ariadne2006/ariadnes_aarbok2006-omslag-somBildeGB.tiff
should then just fit (about) precicely (315,05 x 216,07 was the closest 
Gimp would allow me to make, strange enough) and export it to pdf. Is 
you pdf-file better than my
http://www.bojer.no/Ariadne2006/ariadnes_aarbok2006-omslag-TilTrykking-BareEttBilde.pdf
then?

Thanks anyway for you help, one way or the other :-)
