>Hi Britt, > >Thanks for info on PDF. Is the point with a PDF to be small? Is it better >(smaller) than an JPEG? If I use LZW compression, can someone with a Mac >view it? > PDF uses several kinds of compression, it is all internal to the format, it can be viewed on different platforms. >Does it work with Photoshop, or just with Illustrator? Illustrator files >are already small, aren't they, relatively speaking? See, I'm just full of >questions. >Chris Illustrator files are not small when they contain pixel art, as can be seen by saving a file as EPS with images included. You said your image was in Photoshop, Going through Illustrator was just a suggested way to get at the PDF format without having to buy Acrobat 3.01 Britt _______________________________________ Britt Griswold/MAP Project RS Information Systems NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Code 685 Bldg. 21 Rm G63 Greenbelt, MD 20771 (301) 286-3381 (301) 286-1617 FAX [log in to unmask]
