Ok, there is still a lot of work to do, but your draft shows what can be. I'll do my best to understand your work and help finishing it. (... starting tomorrow. For today one fight with homesearching ants is really enough for me. *grrr* Who told them I would invite them to join my home?) > -------------- TODO ---------------------------------------------- > Some things that need to be done with the LaTeX transforms: Some things may be adapted from nd's research with fop (e.g. collecting external links for footnotes). nd, would you mind to place your build process somewhere to allow anyone to adopt from you? > - Reduce the size of the pdf (both bytes and pages) in any way possible. The pkzipped pdf file has a size of 1.8 MB. PDF files created with Acrobat can't usually be compressed to smaller size, so there should be some possibility to reduce the file size. Reducing the number of pages won't be very easy. It's a lot of stuff. Imho it is not very important to save 10 or 20 pages.
