Just wondering... If your documents actually are .TXTs--i.e. with no inherent formatting--why do you need to convert them to .PDF? They should be usable as they are on essentially any platform, including browsers. I recently had to buy a couple of copies of Acrobat because patrons "didn't wa

I would really like to learn to use the convert program that comes with caldera 2.4. I just can't seem to figure it out from the man page. For example, I can't figure out how to make a number of tiff files into one big tiff file. I follow the directions but no joy. If I try to combine two files, t
