Thanks for your reply. My clients using the cairo generated PDF would like the images extracted with tools like PDFBOX , Aspose or itext.They are not ok with ppm format and then converting them from ppm to png.Images of pdf from cairo are all in non-DCT format. How do I make images of cairo generated PDF in DCT format? Any help in this regard is highly appreciated. regards, Krithi _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list dev-tech-layout@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout
