I also really miss the capabilities that Acrobat Full Version (and even Acrobat Reader since Version 6.0) provide for Win$ There is as far as I know NOT ONE SINGLE ATTEMPT to implement PDF editing functionality in any non-windows PDF Reader/display utility. Adobe itself stopped developing Linux versions at 5.09 which leads to the highly unpleasurable situation that many newer PDF documents can by no means be properly used with linux. just to give an example: my boss tends to proof-read my documents using adobe acrobat 6.0, which forces me to boot windows in order to see his annotations, because neither xpdf nor acroread 5.09 are able to properly display those. I would love to contribute a solution, but there simply is none except for writing such a tool by oneself - a task I can't acomplish because I lack the know-how. there are alternative products for win like http://www.pdfeditor.net/, http://www.jawspdf.com/pdf_editor/, http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/pe_intro.php, http://www.pdfedit995.com/ greets mlo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
