You will know that pics of text for website use is not as good as
real text, marked up in html. But, if you are determined, you
might know that you will need to picturise at a pixel size that
is convenient for your readers without using up unsustainable
bandwidth. How are you going to do this and cater for people with
different eyesights?
I strongly recommend you forget about it. Just make them
available for download as pdfs, many folk will be able to
actually read them in their browsers and adjust with quality the
text size, others wll download and read in the free Acrobat
Reader, what could be simpler?
But ... if you really persist...If the jpgs seem fine, leave it
at that. If you want to use gifs, which are often smaller in size
and clearer for text, you are on a Mac after all, excellent
facilities for screen shotting (Command+****ft+4 and crop the bit
you want). Any decent image software package will convert to gif.
