All webpages were generated using Macromedia Dreamweaver.

The index's jpeg structures were generated by Windows copying the ChemSketch structure into CorelDraw, and then using CorelDraw's JPEG export function: 180 pixels in width (maintain aspect ratio), 150 dpi, Palatted (8-bit), 0% smooth, 100% dither intensity, 0 compression 0 smoothing, Standard (4:2:2), no progressive, no optimize.

pdf creation using NUTS is more than just a bit of an issue. I finally found an adequate solution using NUTS' "Copy Printer DC Enhanced Metafile to Clipboard" command, combined with selection of a properly setup "HP Laserjet Series 8000 PS" printer. The copy is Paste Special into CorelDraw, where it usually comes across correct; CorelDraw provides a simple way to do minor cleanup, prior to printing out to postscript and then through Adobe Distiller for the final pdf. I am currently using Windows XP Professional, but NUTS acts similarly with Win2000. The primary problem with NUTS is all the other Copy commands paste in graphics that are severely distorted upon enlargement. In addition, insets, integrals, axis labels, tic marks, and notes all varied as to whether they would copy correctly or not. The DC Enhanced Metafile clearly gave the best copies upon expansion, but gave a variety of problems with other printer drivers (e.g., Adobe Distiller, or Apple Laserwriter series). The HP Laserjet 4/4M PS driver seems to work nearly as well as the Series 8000 PS driver.

pdf creation of stack plots using NUTS is quite limited, as only Bitmap and (standard) Metafile copies are available. Moreover, NUTS does something odd in printing stackplots and 2d plots that prevents reasonable imports into CorelDraw; tens of thousands of objects are created, bogging any use of CorelDraw down so much as to be nearly unusable. I finally found that the NUTS BU (Buffers) command with the DC Enhanced copy into CorelDraw works well.

I would appreciate very much getting hints from anyone that has better methods for creating pdf's from NUTS. In the mean time, I am looking into other software for making pdf's.
