Full story: We have a 3rd party forms repository that over the years has been loaded up with all sorts of "mission critical" stuff... our originals were done in DOC format usually and uploaded to the server, where the server converts/stores them as PDF. This 3rd party system does not allow any SaveAs capability - you can view it or print a hardcopy - that's all. Well due to attrition, neglect, incompetence, disaster what have you the DOC versions of these things have slowly disappeared over the years. >From time to time users call up and beg for an e-version of a file, where we "print" them using CutePDF to create the file, send it to the user, they go off and find someone with full blown Adobe Writer installed to allow them to make their changes. And I found out today that CutePDF won't convert all of these perfectly for some reason (some docs are *really* complex) so was thinking going straight to Word/DOC format might be the answer... The 3rd party is more than happy to give us DOC versions of these files - at $50 a pop.... OUCH... So yes, this is prompting me to come up with a different way of getting these into DOC formats.. <g> Thanks, Matthew Jarvis || Business Systems Analyst IT Department McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center 1460 G Street, Springfield, OR 97477 || Ph: 541-744-6092 || Fax: 541-744-6145 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This electronic message may contain information that is Proprietary, Confidential, or legally privileged or protected.
