Hi :) Revo Uninstaller has a free trial period and they think that you will find it so invaluable that you will purchase it after 30days or whatever.  Personally i intend to try it once, completely declutter the Xp and then uninstall it.  I have ended up buying a few things that way.

Hi :) Dohhh, sorry.  My turn for missing an earlier post!  I hadn't realised you had already tried re-downloading.  Sorry chap!  It is probably best for you to avoid the 3.6.0 at this point.  Beta-testing pre-release versions is better after you have some idea of how to get back to safety.

High Tom do you really recommend a proprietary format like pdf in an open source environment? You know, PDF is licensed by Adobe and even a simple end user has to subscribe a contract with this company. Have you ever read this license agreement? So PDF ist NOT free. Walther Am Mittwoch, 20.

Hi :) Yes, sadly i do realise that Pdf is a fairly ethically bad format BUT i do have to live in the real world too.  Pdf is difficult to avoid and there doesn't seem to be much alternative yet.  One of the key requirements of the op was that no special program would have to be installed.  Pdf

The PDF specification is now the subject of a formal international standard, ISO 32000, part 1 (2008), so it is no longer proprietary. And most of the PDF readers are free, and many of them are open-source. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org
