That is why in my experience, just using the GS command-line features were simpler and required nothing more than LiveCode shell, and GS to convert a PDF to a multitude of LC compatible bitmap formats. So, is IM an unnecessary layer? I think so if indeed IM needs GS to do this. ˜Roger _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
