Cat, dog, horse, motorcycle. Which word doesn't fit in the above enumeration? Right: the word motorcycle doesn't fit, because it's not an animal. .doc, .ppt, .xls, .pdf. Which extension doesn't fit in the above enumeration? It should be obvious that .pdf doesn't fit, but reading your question, I have the impression it's not. You are making the wrong assumption that PDF is a format for "editing". It's not. A PDF is an end-product meant for "viewing" and "printing". Please go to http://affiliate.manning.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=223_212 and download chapter 6 (you can download it for free). Read the intro, and you'll find out why you won't find your "desired API". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Using storage to extend the benefits of virtualization and iSCSI Virtualization increases hardware utilization and delivers a new level of agility.
