There's a slightly newer version available for download that will probably make it into the next version of greenstone, although I don't know if it fixes the problem. I talked to the author and sent him a sample PDF where this happens, but maybe it wasn't enough - for your information, the file I had with inverted images was created by "PDFWriter 3.0" on windows. If you want to try the later version, or get in contact with the author, you can find it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdftohtml and the home page is http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/ Hope this helps, John McPherson
