Yes I have the book, and I've read it at least once all the way through and refer to it often. The reason for the pre-processing is that the image gets loaded into the program once and then saved and used every time they use the program. If I only scale an image thats say, 2 megs and 2000 pixels wide that the user selects, but the widest the program can use is 500 pixels, then by reducing the image is better than scaling as the image size will be smaller. So a 30k png will be inserted into the pdf rather than a 200k 'scaled' pdf. Unless I'm missing something here, scaling and image still uses the original image, just like in an html document. If I'm wrong about this, please let me know and I'll just save whatever original they give me and scale it.
