This fails miserably when the PDF has a form with logic inside it. The AZ income tax forms in PDF have logic like that in them--you enter the numbers from your W-2, 1099, and various schedules, and the PDF computes your tax liability/surplus and pretty-prints it. The only way I was able to fill that out and have it work properly was with Acrobrat Reader. evince/kpdf wouldn't do it. <TANGENT> About ten years ago, a Grumpy Old Sysadmin said, "Due to some sort of conversion issue in the PDF -> PS -> PCL chain, when I printed my 1040 form, there was a giant Euro symbol covering 2/3 of the page. The conspiracy theorists would have loads of fun with that." </TANGENT> -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
