almost true. there are some tools that have come up at planetpdf.com and pdfzone.com that take on acrobat. the only place adobe exclusively shines is in pre-press quality pdf files, and is further aided by specialised third party filters that can sometimes cost more than the acrobat software. at cnet.com/downloads, have also found various types of pdf writers that do a quick job, for those under win doze. meanwhile, bishan could try and define all the URLs and hyperlinks in the document first, and then attempt creating a PDF file to see if that works. M$ has announced XDoc in its forthcoming release of M$office, which is supposed to be a head-on competitor to acrobat and PDF. am watching with bated breath, this will be quite a battle. popcorns, lights out, cells on silent mode.
