printing dialogs?


        Perhaps you are thinking about the Adobe PDF Printer, which is a way  
to CREATE PDFs from non-PDF-savvy applications.  In that case, we  
provide tools that enable users to produce PDFs with the quality  
levels that they desire.  But once the data is in the PDF - it's  
isn't modified by the viewer.
