LaTeX
Two little blips:
- I downloaded and installed PDFCreator. Although it's only a 0.7Beta, it's much better than PDF995. It also costs nothing, and has no annoying ads. The PDF it generated is pretty nice and smooth, and has tons of tweaking options. I did notice that it installed ghostscript 8.0 when it performed its install.
- LaTeX scares me. The tutorial is 143 pages long. It is, however, obscenely powerful and it does everything including feeding the cat. There are some utilities for Windows floating around that allows you to do some graphical foo with LaTeX, but I have not explored them yet.

Can we scoot this back to the PDF topic? I clearly should not post while on painkillers, and I cannot delete the topic.

Hi Emily,
Unfortunately, although I can split threads, I can't merge them. So ... I grant you Moderator Permission merely to copy your post and add it to the thread you intended to add it to, and this thread will eventually sink into obscurity.
Best,
Ron
