how is the option for better image quality
to convert ps to pdf files with ps2pdf in linux?

I use html2ps to convert a html File in ps.
The Quality in ps File is correct.
If I use ps2pdf to convert in PDF the Image quality is very bad.

thanks

Is in the comp.text.tex FAQ list; -P pdf or -P cmz or ... in the dvips
command.

FYI, your suggestion only helps make the TEXT look better by using scalable
postscript fonts... it's not going to help make IMAGES look any better.

Try adding

-dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress

This should give you images that are around 300 dpi (enogh for high end
printing)
