Morning Malcolm,

> Isn't the "Writer" version, though, quite expensive?
I presume so - it's a Windows commercial program after all.

However, I create PDF files simply by using Open Office or my Docbook
system. Neither of which use any form of Adobe supplied software.

Docbook converts XML source code for a document into XSL Formatting
Objects which is a horrendous language - that no-one ever writes
directly - and form that, FOP (FO Processor) converts it to PDF.

I have no idea how Open Office does it, it just does!

All for free.


> In other words, not entirely without a cost.
Only if you wish to use Adobe Writer to create your PDFs. There are many
ways to skin a cat and even with Tony Tebby's rabid dislike of all
things Unix, it works - for free!


Cheers,
Norman.
