Comments on all of this are welcome. The main thing, of course, is --
are you okay with changing to a design for PDF suitable for onscreen
reading?
The general idea looks excellent, but page 9 shows the problem with
reducing image sizes. We need to find a way to cope with images that are
naturally wider than the column in which they reside. This particular
image doesn't lend itself to cropping. Maybe a 90 degree rotation could
be acceptable, albeit somewhat clumsy?
For reading onscreen, I think that 90 degree rotation would be
completely unacceptable.
Uwe suggested a single-column layout, which could certainly deal with
the hard-to-crop image problem, but where a paragraph stretches the
full width of the page the line of text may get a bit too long for
some people to read comfortably.
Another possibility is to play around with double and single column
sections or other methods of permitting some images to be whatever
size is needed for clarity. That starts getting a bit fiddly, though,
so it should be a last resort. Much better to crop if at all possible.
BTW, the image you mentioned looks just fine to me in the PDF on my
monitor. I must try viewing the PDF on other monitors. I realise your
standards of acceptability are higher than mine.
