From: Clay Leeds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I copied the text to a new file, and saved it as temp.pdf. I then tried to open the file in Acrobat Reader, but it complained and gave an error. It was apparently unreadable by Acrobat.
Sorry to disappoint you, but it will take a little more than just a c&p in a text editor to make this readable by Acrobat. :)
Don't know if you have ever opened a typical pdf in a text editor, but you will notice, for instance, that newline characters never appear inside the streams. Outside the streams they don't seem to matter that much and are only added for readability of the code.
By mailing that 'code snippet' then copying it into the text editor, some of these newlines inevitably get inserted, so it's best for the original poster to repeat this experiment with the original 'text'...
Greetz,

I figured that might be a possibility. But I thought it might be worth a try. I wouldn't mind getting a shell script, macro or regexp that would make the changes necessary to make a c&p in a text editor work. My text-editor has the ability to do many things, including changing linebreaks & feeds. Doubtful that'll matter much, bug would be interesting.
Thanks for the heads up!
;-p
