The images are scaled nicely now in both versions, thanks to Marshalls
tip to use the width param instead of the scale param.

I scanned trough the pdf and added width="5.7in" to all images
which didn't fit on the page. Not sure if that is a robust approach
because every second (every right page when printed as a book?) page
is shifted a little to the right. Which means an image on the left page
can be wider than an image on a right page, trough inserting
a new page somewhere left pages might become right pages, or
the content is just shifted down a little.

Should I then add the with param to all images which are potential
to wide for a right page ?

I do remember having to do some trial and error experimenting to find some
approach that worked.  If you get stuck, post again, with a pointer to a sample,
and I can have a go at trying to get it to scale properly.

  Hi all,

I am trying to embed a larger image which is a screen shot
of the Cas Editor window into the Cas Editor
documentation inside the tools docbook.

In the html version the image is too small, and in the pdf versions
its to big. Is there a trick how to scale it nicely in both
versions ?

Here is the piece of xml which embeds the image:

<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata scale="65" format="PNG"
                fileref="&imgroot;CasEditor.png" />
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>
