Likewise, been there, etc.

Acrobat works fine with Publisher, and others have basically told you how to
do that. But here's a little trick or two that you may find useful.

1. Be sure to print to a file, using Adobe Distiller as your printer. This
preserves the color and the fonts of the original, and it took me a while to
learn this.

2. When you create your pdf file using Distiller, create thumbnails as well.

3. If your newsletter editor does as mine did, creating each page of the
newsletter as a separate Publisher or Word file, you can combine the pdf
files into a single file by doing the following:

a. Open all the pdfs individually and display the thumbnails.
b. Make the first page your active window, but keep the next page
visible. Then drag the thumbnail from the second page onto the thumbnail of
the first page, positioning page 2 below or to the right of the first
thumbnail. This copies the whole pdf and makes a 2-page pdf file without
damaging the second page.
c. Do the same with subsequent pages.
d. Save the composite pdf with a new name and post that on the
website. Your users can then access the entire newsletter as a single pdf
file, without having to open individual pages.

If you'd like to see the progression of what I've learned, feel free to
visit the website I maintain at www.naisp.net/users/cryspr and click on CSA
Newsletters - Annotated. The most recent newsletters are at the top. Credit

Agriculture community.
