I do have Windows 2000 (the last Windows I used before going to Linux) as a guest OS, but current versions of Acrobat won't install. Windows 2000 does not have the DRM stuff to enable Adobe's activation requirements, so they made Acrobat 7 and later require XP or Vista. I'm not going there. :) My only option is to go to a university computer lab. The graduate labs have Acrobat installed under the university's site license. But that is an extra trip across town and a large expenditure of time. Perhaps during spring break, but not with the end of the term looming. I'm not very smart so I have to work extra hard. > I did look into a earlier email with the export to PDF using PDF/A1 > for font embedded, but I have my computers setup with the same fonts. > I will need to install a(1-4) new-very-special-looking font. > That way the other computer will not have it and we will test it out > well.

Adobe Acrobat 8.1/Linux would not open the resulting PDF. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
