Yeah, but it's a document; PDF was made for documents. We don't know if it needs to be edited or not.
FWIW, I hate it when people send us documents in tiff format, because: a) the attachment is much larger than it needs to be, taking up useful space in the mailbox and b) I always get the call about how the user can't open it. Not all of our systems have the MS Office Photo Manager set as the default viewer. I like how our Canon networked copier/printers do it. It will scan a doc, convert it to a pdf and email it to you. I then take that pdf and email it to the recipient, rather than fax it. It's faster and I have the message in my email archive for the "paper" trail if needed. > -----Original Message----- > I didn't because pdf is more of a _destination_ format than an editing > or archival format. Not a good comparison, but I would liken it to > scanning an important painting; you wouldn't save it as a jpg, because > you would know it may need editing later. > > Of course, now that Adobe has opened up the pdf format, this may > change. But for now, it's just not an editing format. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
