Well, I'd say try it out on your documents and see if you like the results. If you want to keep the backgrounds, there's an option in the page setup to do that. Stylesheets tagged with media "screen" won't be applied, though. The advantage to this approach is that the pagination will likely be better quality (e.g. text won't be split vertically in half). > It seems there's a problem with resolution.

You should be able to change the resolution of the output by changing the transform of the canvas. Take a look at http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2005/05/rendering_web_p.html for a code example. > And does I need to have some really visible canvas > to dump the image, or > it can be done on invisible canvas? The page itself needs to be visible, but the canvas doesn't need to be visible. -Eli __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
