A little thing called Generating Reviews.

Not going to fight a flame war with D_Sinclar...

I used Acrobat 5.0, and when I pasted into something else, all I got was garbage text and no bookmarks.

Just for your reference, while copying the first paragraph of the book describing the 1.5 version, I get this:

I've been told that the problem was caused by the PDF generator that we previously used, Jaws PDF Creator. It created compressed PDfs according to its own programming, which made PDFs that could be read onscreen or printed, but were unusable for most anything else. They all had to be redone at the end of 2003 because the files couldn't be indexed for Acrobat's built in search index engine.

Would you like a new copy that does not have the technical deficiencies of the two year old copy you received?

feel free to send it: jezter6@gmail.com

as long as everything works, I'll re-do any comments in the review about the cut/paste functionality.

Thanks go out to the guys at ARP. I've since recieved a fully functional version of the product and amended my original review and removed references about bookmarks and copy/paste. I slammed it pretty hard based on those 2 problems originally, and amended my review to reflect that change.

Thanks again.

I've now added another review - going to take a short break from pdf reviews to finish off some print ones and get my story hour up to date too.

I'd like permission from some you to give away copies of your PDF for review. I'd be giving them a copy and keeping one for myself to review. I will only do this if you tell me it is okay.

Thank you for letting me participate in this process these past few months.

Officially I would like to withdraw from this now. I do not wish for review copies to be sent to other reviewers.

Thank you.
