in reply to Encoding images into ASCII85 for PDF generation
I think ASCII85 is a standard encoding format for use with EPS image formats. I'm afraid I can't be of much more help than this, but I would look into figuring out how to encode your images into an EPS format instead of looking for information on ASCII85. I know Image::Magick will do this. That may be all you need.
