Look at this page: <http://www-vis.lbl.gov/software_support/ghostview/docs/Language.htm#Standard_filters> "the data compression method variously known as 'zlib' (the name of a popular library that implements it), 'Deflate' (as in RFC 1951, which is a detailed specification for the method), 'gzip' (the name of a popular compression application that uses it), or 'Flate' (Adobe's name). and this: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/1999-December/001617.html> I spent a long time figuring out what Adobe PDF's "flate filter" was before I discovered it was the inverse of "deflate" (yes, there were loud sounds of head-slapping when I clicked) and discovered that zlib.compress() was EXACTLY what you need to create compressed streams in PDF documents. > re: base64Encode it converts the data to all ASCII > suitable for MIME attachements.

MD5digest and PNG are the other filters that could be used in pdf documents. al ===== Visit my site: http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/ Search the mail list: http://mindlube.com/cgi-bin/search-use-rev.cgi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
