PDF

[Richard B Mahoney]

Dear All,

It seems to me that this thread has, amongst other things, succeeded
in emphasising that the production and manipulation of file types --
especially PS and PDF files -- can involve a number of complex issues.

I would hope that the discussion has not caused anyone to shy away
from the whole idea. Postscript and PDF files remain an extremely
useful medium for sharing papers.

Could I mention, then, for those of you who don't already know, that a
great deal of assistance, often of extremely high quality, is
available from the following newsgroups:

          comp.text.tex

          comp.text.pdf

          comp.lang.postscript

Many of the issues which have been raised -- font quality,
compatability, conversion et caetera -- are discussed frequently on
these newsgroups.

Hopefully this is of assistance.

Many regards,

 Richard Mahoney
