I just found out that xpdf has fooled me. The default magnification level is 125%. It's clear that the images don't look good because they have been scaled up for display. The images are fine when selecting 100%. Argh! The images are too large in relation to the text, but that should be easy to fix. Another interesting thing is that another PDF of the same site, which was built a few years ago using Windows tools (AFAIK MS Word and Adobe Distiller), looks best at a magnification level of 150%. At 125% it still looks better than the one I produced, but a close look with xmag reveals that it is scaled. At 100% it's even more scaled. Dunno why this happens, Windows is always strange. > BTW, I don't know if this is related, but GIF images do not scale well, > as they are a form of a INDEXED BITMAP image.

Have a look at my previous mail if you want to see the images I'm working with.
