Using ImageMagick, convert image.ppm image.png will convert without loss. I don't know whether cairo's PDF output may contain images in DCT format, but, if so, "pdfimages -j firefox.pdf" will extract these as JPEG files. (pdfimages comes with/from xpdf.) _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list dev-tech-layout@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout
