What difficulties do you have? The netpbm suite should cover essentially all image formats. Have a look, for example, at pnmtops: Recent versions even allow to specify a native PostScript compression filter (most notably /FlateDecode). A PS file should be convertable to the EPS format with programs like ps2epsi (in case it can be converted to the EPS format at all). I believe that your question is rather: How can I embed JPG images and the like so that they can be extracted as such after conversion of the groff PS output file to the PDF format... Keith? Werner
