</div></div>If you need to include fonts to your publications (e.g. for printing<br>
houses), using latex and dvips (or possibly even pdftops) may still be<br>
needed, and this requires additional processing. I agree that pdflatex<br>
or xetex are the best alternatives for _online_ pdf publishing and you<br>
should always use vector gfx if possible.<br>
<br>
to do the initial conversion, use imagemagick convert (installed in<br>
jalava, etc). e.g. with 300 dpi originals:<br>
convert ín.png -density 300 out.eps<br>
<br>
however, to make sure the resolution is preserved in the final pdf<br>
(assuming you are creating one), you should note the settings in<br>
ghostscript as well since this does affect the information contained in<br>
images regardless of the resolution used in the original conversion.<br>
<br>
for example, when using PREPRESS setting in ghostscript ensures that all<br>
the images are in uniform resolution (possibly lower than the<br>
originals), suitable for printing press:<br>
ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4<br>
-dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true <a href="http://in.ps" target="_blank">in.ps</a><br>
<br>
you can replace the PREPRESS setting with DEFAULT to keep the<br>
(bitmap-converted) images in as high resolution as possible, but this<br>
does not include fonts.<br>
