I think you're speaking of the permissions for sharing with people who are only using the Reader.
I forgot to mention that I'm using the latest Adobe Acrobat software. I don't remember what the capabilities were of previous versions, or the Reader since I don't use it. I believe version 9.xx has more capabilities that previous versions did not. I like creating forms in the new version. Version 8.xx and 9.xx allow you to attach non-Adobe formats to your PDFs such as spreadsheets, documents, etc. Bill -----Original Message----- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com]on Behalf Of Ward Walker Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 2:35 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] To pdf or not to pdf Bill, Adobe Reader is able to add annotations to a PDF if the appropriate user rights have been applied to the PDF. I suspect that the PDF must also be created as interactive (not printform). Applying user rights might be done by the software that creates the PDF, or even after the fact by software such as Adobe Acrobat. Previous posting to this list have suggested that certain third party PDF readers can ignore user rights and perform some tasks that Adobe Reader would restrict.

I guess it's up to the user as to what their preference will be later on down the road when you have thousands of images/PDFs. One big advantage of using the PDF files is that you can add notes to the file that would otherwise have to be added in the genealogy program. I don't know if the reader lets you do this since I use the full version. Bill Boswell ...
