There is a small q+d patch on my homepage at

which tries to embed PNG files natively, without the usual slow decompressing + compressing steps done by pdftex---only if the PNG image type allows that. This usually results in a smaller overall PDF file size, as the original line-by-line predictor type informations from the PNG image are carried over into the PDF file. And the PNG embedding is speedier.
sounds great. many thanks Hartmut.

P.S. The newest libtiff comes with a tiff2pdf program. Quite handy.
ha, good that we dropped tiff support. If there is a reasonable png2pdf program, should we drop PNG support as well? Regards, Thanh
