acrobat is able to handle forms in PDFs, and there are quite some PDFs which are only viewable in acrobat. also acrobat provides _the_ feature of "downgrading" a pdf file, it can convert those to ps+level without rastering the fonts (and yes i'm talking about the reader, just start it from commandline ..), the feature is really helpful if your printer is a postscript printer, but is not able to print your document... -- Florian Reitmeir -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
