The only reason why I assume there might be a license is because acrobat
costs so much?
Yet there are no 'freeware' or opensource windows PDF makers. So if the
whole open source community is making PDF's for free? Why? If the
standard
was open - why is acrobat the only expensive option for the windows desktop?
Just my thinking and wondering why..... :-\
Cheers,
Richard.
