Earlier mail got sent prematurely due to some pudgy fingers. It is important to have annotations as PDF elements for interoperability with the larger universe of PDF viewer/editor platforms.

Maintains its own file formats and separate files but can be saved as linked with the parent doc. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
