Hence the reason I don't believe Sun has EVER talked to Adobe over
this Acrobat issue - honestly, how many companies would turn down free
money? I mean, if Scott turned up at your door step, paid you
$10million in cash, and all you had to do was port an application or
write a driver for Solaris x86, would you turn down the money? of
course not; free money! more customers! geeze, its a gravy training
rolling past the door.
Hence the reason I find its an issue of Sun refusing to do something
rather than an issue of 'well, we've tried, and they still refuse".
I'm under the belief SUN did approach Adobe. In the mainstream CAD
application "Pro-Engineer" (arguably the # one CAD platform) the Sparc
version will output "pdf" drawings using Adobe libraries. The X64
version is missing this feature. PTC and SUN have to be trying to get
100% compatibility between both platforms or they need to change the
source to use ghostscript to output "pdf's".
