No trial pack for me. Both my computers run Ubuntu. 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.

Someone else suggested PDF/A1 so I tried it. Adobe Acrobat 8.1/Linux
would not open the resulting PDF.
