I've been using the Acrobat Distiller printer driver (among others) to print to file, then Ghostscript to convert the .prn to .pdf via pdfwrite. I get great-looking text copy this way. The problem it that the graphics look like crap. I've fooled with every attribute possible with no change whatsoever. (never mind improvement) Pdf995 looks like total crap. I'm running Win98. I had Acrobat a while back but something became corrupted and they don't make it for 98 anymore. HTMLdoc is not what I want, not to mention it doesn't appear to support CSS. Any suggestions?

I've put online such a tool a while ago and I hve to tell you that I found no better choice than HTMLdoc engine behind the scene. There should be other ways as well, like using some sort of browser control and just copy the output, but I found no real implementation of it.

I have an ideea though and in case you relly need a tool like that just sticky-me and maybe we'll find a soution

I tried an implementation of HTMLdoc and it doesn't work at all for me. I don't need to convert online either. Actually, I would like to make other publications that match my new web site, and they just don't come out right. The graphics look terrible. I have read about this problem before but I haven't found a solution.
