Adobe Acrobat PDF Edit / Report Engine behavior
I was wondering if anyone had an explanation for this problem. I made up this 325 page report for a customer from survey data that they gave me. I then printed all the reports through Acrobat Distiller. After that I needed to merge pages to make one document, then change the page numbers at the bottom of the page and on an index/table of contents page using Adobe Acrobat. Here's what I ran into - after printing to the pdf, I couldn't edit anything in Adobe Acrobat. Very frustrating, especially late at night and tired! I found out that when I was printing with Report Engine behavior set to 90, I could not edit anything, changed it to 80, then I could. I did the same project last year and didn't have the problem, I must have changed the default behavior sometime during the year. Anyways, so much the wiser. -- Regards, Chester Friesen Friesen Computer Company Willows, CA ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

I'm learning here. ;-) That's close, that gives me a one record for
each rider with a "sumall" field showing the total. I need all the
records in the table to show in the report sorted by the order that the
above came up with. i.e., sorted by the Names, but in the order of the
Totals. I hope I'm making sense! Actually the example below should be
descending instead of ascending, but that's an easy part.

Name1
01/01/07 50
01/01/07 25
Total-> 75
Name2
01/01/07 40
01/01/07 44
Total-> 84
Name3
01/01/07 45
01/01/07 44
Total-> 89

The app calculates the points and computes the place ratings. Previously they used a spreadsheet with macros, looked like a tremendous amount of work and time consuming.

I would think that a standard removal from add/remove programs should take care of that. Most software like that has an uninstall file that has the install "script" that has all the files, reg entries, etc., used when the program was installed. Sometimes if I'm not sure that a program uninstalled correctly, I will try and get a clean re-install and then uninstall again. If you are comfortable in the registry, search (Ctrl-F) and find all instances of windows defender and delete the keys. Be sure you make a backup of the registry, first. My guess with a program like that would be that add/remove probably did the job without needing to check the registry. Check the services running after uninstalling and restarting the computer.

[NF] Web Server Advice
I registered a new domain name for a client. This is a bare domain name, no web hosting included. I plan on hosting it myself. I have a server I can use, presently Windows 2003 Server is installed on it, P4-2.4GHz. Here are some scenarios I am considering. 1. Install Ubuntu 6.06 Server, if I need W2003Svr, run in a VM. 2. Use W2003Svr, install Ubuntu 6.06 in a VM, host in the VM. 3. Use W2003Svr for all of it. 4. Use a different distro. 5. Host with Lunarpages or similar. 6. Tell him I chickened out, run fast away from it! This is a first for me on this type of project. I do a lot of business for them, consulting, repair, etc. They have a current web site now which I will move over to my server, probably use the new domain name mainly for email. Possibly host other sites later. What are the potential caveats for me? I like the idea of the Linux route, but don't have a lot of experience with it, even though I've dabbled with it since RH6.
