>> Are there any writeups on doing that kind of thing?
Not that II am aware of. This is all stuff that I figured out myself via trial and error. lots of error ;) I will be back on tomorrow and I can pull up my notes. Google RTF and CF in the interim. BTW I have been ALL over the whole "creating PDFs" thing for the last week so I am steeped in the subject matter. There are *lots* of ways to do it. It is just a matter of figuring out what fits your needs. For me it was RTF => oolib => PDF G!
