Not sure where my mail from my phone went. It should be an option on PDF export, hard coded into the export process, and definitely not a script. There are a number of issues that need to be considered like how many times any one particular image is used in a document etc. FWIW, I asked about this on 19/9/2003 around when 1.1.1 was released. We have a bug for it too. Franz, Jean, someone else.. can you please implement this? Craig -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
