Steve:

1. Always capture in TIF format. Then make sure compression settings for
graphics are off in Distiller. I have tried saving in TIF then converting to EPS
before distilling and I did NOT notice any improvement. If printing via postscript
the results will be beautiful.

2. Remember True Type fonts are NOT embedded in PDF files ONLY PS. So if
the font is absent from the user's system Acrobat will substitute.
