I'm having a similar problem with converting pagemaker files to html.
The graphics that were tiffs are converted to gif but are still much
to big to be reasonable in an html document. To further complicate
the situation they are ultrasound images for medical applications
that absolutely rely on quality imaging and high resolution. Any
advice or suggestions for resources would be welcome.
