 A larger disadvantage is having a 22mb pdf file from which you want to save
1 mb of info.  In html can save whichever image and text, edit as desired
and save.  99% of html pages saved I edit.  Pdf's usually get edited by XPDF
but only text.  Perhaps Ghostscript could save the images? Other methods
would be welcome.  Suppose screen capture would grab the images with some
editing?
