It's abridging / cutting the text, manually formatting text, and
paginating that create most of the tedious work here. Images are
relatively easy and there aren't many anyway.
I never resize images, I just scale them without touching the source
bitmap. Since my source is in Confluence I don't deal with files
directly.
