Thanks to Buscar for making me to look more deeply into this. It seems that the preview/editing space in PP for Mac visually compresses the pictures (i.e. text is somewhat sharper than pictures, no matter how high quality they are). However, this difference disappears in the Slide Show mode.

You might be out of luck if you do not have the originals, as you know now the 2010 was compressing the pictures.
First save the picture to hard drive and open it with something like iPhoto.
If you like the quality there we can continue.
If you do not like the quality it is the end of the road, no advanced settings will help here.

Yes, select the text, and choose Format -> Font -> Kern -> Loosen from the menu.
If you need to do this frequently, visit the Keyboard Shortcuts tab of the Keyboard system preferences, then select Application Shortcuts and add a shortcut for Loosen.

This is a Chrome bug. It has been marked fixed in version 27, so the easiest thing to do would be to wait for the upgrade or to upgrade now.
To fix the existing PDFs, you can do the following:
Open the PDF in Preview
File->Save
This will rewrite the PDF so that it does not have the issue.

It's not entirely clear to me what your requirements are for being able to "script" this from the "command line".
If you are talking about automation, then that is possible with any number of utilities.

If you don't mind using macports you can install okular:
port install okular
Consider editing the port file if you want to use kile (KDE's TeX editor) as well, as it depends on texlive and most mac users already have a TeXlive installation through MacTeX:
port edit kde4-kile
#remove the line which contains texlive
port install kde4-kile

None of the suggestions help if you downloaded a file directly from the internet (say ORielly Books, or Safari Books), directly into iBooks. You can't get anything out of iBooks into Dropbox, or your computer, without shelling out additional $$$$.

Preview can do this, once you have followed a link Cmd-[ will take you "Back" to the page where the link was clicked. Additionally if you wish to follow the link again using your keyboard, the obvious shortcut for "Forward" is then Cmd-].
Both of these may be found under the "Go" menu in Preview.

I don't know how it compares against other options, but you could use pdfotext. It can be installed with brew install xpdf.
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/pdftotext /usr/share/doc/bash/bash.pdf -" without altering line endings
Calibre also comes with some command line utilities:

Have a look at the "Go to" menu and the Back option there.
With a Swiss German keyboard, it's Cmd-Ö but that won't you help much :-)

Just open the Mac Word document in Pages. It saves PDFs more reliably than Word in my limited experience.

I have tested the font you mention in exporting pdf (best quality) from keynote and it is both embedded and displays correctly on my iOS devices using Adobe Reader or iBooks to open the file. It should work for you as well. If not, feel free to send me an example of your pdf for testing (tom at bluesky dot org).
