Perhaps a copy of the script you discussed in another email?

I've done some reading on the format and it seems you can include jpeg and
png images into the pdf file. As mc can save images to these formats then it
would be relatively easy to save an image to a file. Read it back in then
incorporate it into the pdf.
My plan is to store reports from a program in a relatively portable and
printable format. I was thinking of HTML but as there are images involved I
didn't want to have multiple files lying around.
The script needs to take text and format it with style & layout and embed
jpeg or png image data into the file. When the file is built it will be
saved.
Again thanks for any help.
