Ahh I was under the impression that the image was converted on creating the 
pdf. However, I normally use tiff for high quality images or a simple 95% 
jpeg for manuals.


If you want to test you could send me a snippet and I'll look at it on my PC.

Send it to r.hartley at bio.gla.ac.uk I have a 100Mb line so size is not a 
problem.
