I am publishing a technical manual using PageMaker 6.0 (Windows 3.11). I
have many graphic images originating from many sources. I am having
trouble getting some of them to print right even though they import into
my document O.K.

I'm printing Postscript, using gray scale images, CAD and line art to
Xerox DocuTech (135 I think) at 600 dpi.

I want to keep the document file size as small as possible without
degrading the image quality.

Graphics originate from the following applications:

AutoCAD 12/Windows (CAD schematics and drawings)
Corel Draw 5.0/Windows (Line art illustration)
Photoshop 3.0/Windows (Bitmapped images, gray scale only)

I am somewhat new to PageMaker and want to know what are the best
formats to stick to for publishing with PageMaker. Also, what is the
best way to take my document and prepare it for Postscript printing to
Xerox DocuTech?

Any direction is greatly appreciated!

Reed
