How do you get this into PDF?
On the Mac it is a piece of cake. I just print and save as PDF. The Mac OS has PDF built in to the OS.
I can actually open .ps files (postscript) in "Preview" which is Apple's application for viewing images and PDFs. The best part is being able to crop PDFs in the Preview application. Very handy. Can't do that with Acrobat Reader.
There is also an HTML tag for doing page breaks. Very cool stuff. I was trying to find a "cheap" alternative to buying expensive page layout software and stumbled on this.
In order to get hi-res photos in a web page/pdf print you just make them really really big and scale them down in the HTML. This also works for black and white gif logos and line art. Save a huge gigantic logo as indexed gif or even a jpg or png and scale it down on the web page. BINGO! High resolution print. A web page only displays 72 dpi. If you print an image that is scaled down it will have the effect of increasing the DPI.
This never goes on the web so file size doesn't matter.
On the PC side I don't know much about printing to PDF. I suppose you could get some kind of virtual PDF printer or something. Acrobat (paid version not the viewer) would have the option to convert postscript files "saved" from a print job or actually to print directly to PDF. Never tried it.
