Could one of you guys in the USA who has Windoze and Adobe Acrobat take my MS Word 97 file for the calendar and make it a PDF? The person I thought who could and would do it for me turns out not to have the stuff for it. I know I can get one free conversion from Adobe on line but I'm on dial up and the file is 18+ megs. My thought was to send you the CD to keep for yourself, of course, with the calendar in the MS Word form and all the separate jpg files (not needed to be put into PDF) Thanks much - off list responses, of course :) ann wanted someone in USA cause I can send the cd to them faster.

Re: OT: need a favor
Mark, frankly I'm afraid of downloading the software AND the ones I looked at a couple of months ago wouldn't fly with Windoze '98 AND I'm sure I'd botch it as well. and I don't trust myself to do it right and understand it. I've got a real low frustration point - The only reason I want to convert it to PDF is for possible future printing or sending it to someone whom I don't trust to leave the doc file alone :) I actually had a couple of guys here offer to do it for me and of course whoever does it gets the calendar on CD free - and the 59 images to use as a slide show if they like.

Re: need a favor
The last couple of versions of Acrobat (6.0 7.0, I believe) have support for forms with areas that can be filled in by the user. It's also possible to re-save the form with those same areas filled in (if the original document creator desires). That's all just using the (free) Acrobat reader. The original form needs to be created using the full Acrobat product, of course, but the end user only needs the reader.

Off Topic- Mac OS X 10.3 Users- help! I need Small Favor
Hi Guys And Girls, I accidentally deleted my TextEdit application, and it was too long gone to recover by the time I noticed it gone. I use it all the time for cutting and pasting from web pages, since it can import text and images quite nicely, even keeping the links active, plus importing the graphics and pictures at the same time (creating a rtfd file), something MS Word will not do. Anyway, I would really appreciate if one of my fellow pentax + mac brethren would find their TextEdit.app file, and send it to me in an email attachment. It should be less than a 1mb sized file. And that would save me from having to run the Software Restore CDs, which might be an hour long (or more) task. Of course I could wait a week or so and get it back when I get my copy of OS X 10.4 (Tiger) around May 1 But it is the end of the semester and lots of the research I've done is due before that... Anyhow, if there is such a benevolent brother able to send it along, my graditude would be great. Sid B
