In trying to track down a similar issue we have on our site, I manually ran pdf2html.pl against the particular PDF files, putting the output to a text file and looked that over. Compare it with the HTML document. BTW: the problem on our site ended up being improperly coded HTML documents (some web coders were using FONT tags instead of H1, H2, etc...) greg_fenton. ===== Greg Fenton [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
