Dear musketeers, 1. I just noted that texexec.ini for mswincontext.zip defaults to tetex, not fptex. Is that intentional? 2. Can I configure texexec.ini so that texexec --make generates the aleph format in addition to the pdfetex formats? (Of course this assume we can solve the search-paths-f

[NTG-context] PDF Forms

Hi, Is there some way to create PDF docs (as forms maybe?) so end users can add their own contact information and logos just by using Adobe Reader, not Acrobat? These are one to four page documents. Right now I can do this by supplying them with Word docs. Thanks. __
