Whats more interesting is the variety of tools schools are using to create the PDFs, our local schools appear to all be using different tools, Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Publisher, Serif Page Plus etc. At least they have the sense to convert from these to a largely universal format. I couldn't imagine or wouldn't expect a school to be converting a well laid out newsletter produced in dedicated publishing software which is no doubt primarily designed for print into an equally appealing HTML representation. >
We don't get the PDF version, just the .pub file gets emailed! I must speak to other parents and see how easy they are to view on Windows. I've found a website that converts them... It's a matter of training, time and having the right software - our children brought home a note before half-term apologizing that the Welsh language school cannot do dinner money statements in anything other than English. The software only does English. Cofion/Regards, Neil.
