Are you talking about the full text RSS code or PDF newspaper? The PDF library used in RSS to PDF Newspaper can already grab images and embed them in the PDF. If you're talking about the full text RSS service, then it's possible but you'd have to write code to go through the retrieved HTML and fetch images whenever an img element is found. You don't need GD unless you want to manipulate the images in some way.

Hope that's some help.

thanks for response... yea i was talking about the full text service.Could whatever you use in the pdf newspaper be integrated into the full text service to grab images. Or do you know of any scripts i could look at to intergrate?

thanks again

I don't know of any existing scripts that do this. I personally don't see any use for it in the full text service so I don't think I'll be integrating it. It's needed in the PDF service because the images have to be downloaded before they can be embedded in the PDF. I think if you were going to implement this you'd need to go through all img elements, retrieve the images and store them somewhere on disk, rewrite the URL so it points to the new location of the image instead of the original source.
