Exactly! The problem is that this is not controlled by the user and might degrade original quality. And this can happen twice when a tool tries to convert the PDF format into another one. Particularly then when one tries to use the same set of images for different purposes it's worth to spend a few thoughts on their formats and how to achieve them. -- Greetings Pete Bake pizza not war! -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
