I have already open bug/feature reports for CM in Qt generated PDF spool files.  
I don't expect this to be worked on anytime soon however.  At this point these 
have been assigned to someone but the only comments are from members of this 
list.  In addition the priority of the three items is set to P4: low.   Till 
is there something we can do to get the priority of these bumped up?
