Jeff, You're the person with OS/2 Warp, correct? And you can't run any Acrobat past 3.0 on that, correct? Just trying to clarify my recollections of earlier threads. You also rail against anyone using html in email, correct? Another clarification. And when I just visited your website, there seems to be a colorspace problem with the blue text on the black background, but I don't think that's Adobe's fault -- please clarify. - Bob Lema -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dr. Jeffrey Race Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 3:46 AM To: PDF list Subject: [PDF] "this isn't MicroSoft you know" The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com __________________________________________________________________ On Wed, 20 Aug 2003 14:42:35 -0500, pdf-digest wrote: >Adobe is REALLY pushing for EVERYONE to upgrade to 6.0 apparently.

Adobe is, wittingly or not, acquiring a reputation as an MS stooge. I recently attempted to download some files from the Adobe site and was informed I had to use MSIE. Since I don't use that browser, I couldn't download. Also, Adobe apparently double-crossed some US government agency regarding support for non-MS systems, as a result of which said agency has detailed instructions how special care must be given to PDF file creation to ensure compatibility with the embedded base of browsers. The biggest download monthly from my website is the article on how to deal with the Colorspace Error, which so many encounter due to versional incompatibilities in Adobe software on the MS model. This problem will only worsen as Adobe is drawn into the MS black hole.
