This is simply because HTML is not typesetting-capable. Depending on the source of the PDF file, it may help to convert from THAT format instead from PDF. E. g. if you have a .tex (LaTeX) file that has been the source of the PDF file, you can use a converter from LaTeX to HTML, often with acceptable results. The HTML concept, especially when incorporating CSS for formatting, _can_ be used to gain a bit typographic quality, e. g. by defining parameters for "screen" and for "printed" media. Still it suffers from things like maintaining good grey values, hypenation and ligatures. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
