I can create a pdf file with pdf995 from my CAD system. but this only
makes a pdf of the CAD output
But I dont know how create a pdf with text, with the output from my
CAD system showing between the paragraphs of my text. I could insert
bmp/jpg screen dumps of the CAD , but that looks sort of "Sir Clive
Sinclar-ish"

Take screen shots of the schems and make a web page. Then use
pdf995. It's worthless for anything else. I've found Mathematica
makes an excellent webpage out of notebooks filled with equations.
IIRC MatCAD does too, but I didn't like the way it did[n't] do
higher than 1st degree derivatives like d2v/dt2.

I use the PDFWriter than accompanies Adobe Acrobat as a virtual
printer... "prints" directly from my schematic capture, and DOES make
searchable text.

But I have other needs where print-to-GIF would be highly desirable.

I've started using ScreenPrint to create graphics files and then
include them in Frame. I've tried several similar packages and this
one is worth the $40.
