I'm sorry, but if you don't give us enough details about the problem you
encounter, then how can we help you ?

I've got some code which takes images from the ZODB using PIL and puts
them in a PDF document using ReportLab modifying their size (in RL, not
PIL, but this shouldn't be difficult). If this can help then I can send it
to you.

Otherwise I suggest you try to report the exact error message(s) you've
got or the exact problem(s) you encounter, in order for us to be able to
help.

bye,
