RE: [PDF-Basics] Why Acrobat ?

[Rich Sprague]

The 4.05 upgrade never was available as a download. You will have to call Adobe to see if they still support it. Otherwise, you can upgrade to version 6 for $99.00. This is worth it, as version 4.x is now nearly five years old and has undergone dramatic and beneficial changes.   Rich From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Srinivasulu Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2004 12:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PDF-Basics] Why Acrobat ?

Acrobat is now up to version 6.x. If you are still using version 4.0, make sure and upgrade it to 4.05, or you're in for one heap of trouble. There were 11,000 bugs in Acrobat 4 (by Adobe's own admission). That's a lot of pesky flies.   Rich From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Srinivasulu Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 10:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PDF-Basics] Why Acrobat ?

Distiller is a tool within the Acrobat package.   The Acrobat application will allow one to:   a) Open the PDF that Distiller makes (you can also do this in the free Adobe Reader).   b) Add functionality to or modify the PDF.   Rich From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Srinivasulu Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 6:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PDF-Basics] Why Acrobat ?

The best part is that OpenOffice.org is free from http://www.OpenOffice.org. George Rich Sprague wrote: No, Steve.   You need Adobe Acrobat. You create a document in Word, or many other applications, then print a PDF document. Some applications have a built-in export feature, but Word isn't one of them. www.adobe.com   Rich From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of steven hartsock Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 5:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PDF-Basics] HI: Is it necessary to have Front Page installed to create PDF files and documents in Word?
