Ummm....so that's why Chapter 5 of the reference is all about text? Seriously though, it is possible to put text into pdfs. That's why you can copy and paste out of them. Granted, there are a lot of places that just scan in material and post that, but it is not the only thing that you can do with pdfs. PDF is derived from postscript after all. Unless I missed something in the conversation, in which case I'm sorry. Or you're being sarcastic and I just misread ;). Just didn't want anyone to be mislead. Jon Gorman
