Don't know if thats possible. It is, but it will require some smart positioning. I don't have the time right now to give you an example, but it's certainly doable. It's even doable without images, I think (borders and such). http://www.simplebits.com/notebook/2004/07/12/bulletproof_slants.html is also a method. HTH -Rob.

[WSG] Technical Aberrations?
A bit ago I had a question on pdf image files which was answered by quite a few, and appreciated. I'm a bit of a beginner at standards and been making sites for a quite a few years and online ten. In that time I have made quite a few sites, starting with tables, and recently moved to CSS and standards, but always learning, especially with the assistance of the WSG. The client I referred to was nice enough to separate the pdf site plan into individual parts, about twenty of them and send them on. Very nice. I how have twenty pdf files of small images of various shapes, images vary but are around 61x72px and each one on a transparent background, which is 400px by 500px. These are supposed to be inline menu items, all angled, all pdf. All large backgrounds and no way to cut them out. I now realize I can convert these in photoshop. Great. So now have small angled jpg images on a huge transparent background. Just as useless. I'm totally clueless and client wants it in a few days, and is willing to pay good. I seriously think I have some decisions to make: I am such a rank amature that I should give it up to those more technically inclined. I live on a different planet and haven't seen this stuff before because of that. I have for the first time ran into someone who operates in a different technical environment which I accidently had the good fortune to avoid until now. I'm right in thinking that this kind of complex stuff is archaic, and these methods are by geeks and for geeks and have no place in designing websites and only impresses those immersed in it. I'm totally wrong in the above and a rank amature. Give this site up and pretend it never happened. Give the site up and put it down to an abberation that probably won't happen again. lol Bruce Prochnau BKDesign Solutions-without solutions ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Bruce, Can you not place pdfs into Photoshop document and then crop and carry on from there with properly-sized image, or am I not understanding something?

Wendy I have separated one to actual size, the images are angled, but the edges are square out of photoshop. I don't mean to make this into a lesson on adobe photoshop on this list, perhaps I shouldn't have written in. Mostly was wondering about the use of pdf images in design and angled images in lists.
