Hi Clarknova,
Would it be any help (pdf file size-wise) to start with the html version of the book with only critical areas converted to svg's but the main part of the book being straight html.
For example, a new version of flatxml2html using the code used for the ornate letter A issue can automatically create svg images for just the "fixed" regions on the page and put img src style links to them right into the html while letting the bulk of the document remain html. This did wonders for the need to hand edit anything in my book but at the expense of more svg images and less ability to search for things (since they might be in images).
The question is would this result in a significantly reduced in size pdf (once converted)? Or would this buy us nothing?
Thanks,
KevinH
