There have been an awful lot of messages about PDF traumas
lately. (I know that I've had my share of headaches!) I found out
earlier this week that I wasn't just hallucinating or being a dolt

Adobe has a patch for Reader/Distiller and calls it version 3.01R.
It is only for folks who have the distinct displeasure of printing
to non-PostScript printers and it makes a world of difference. My
screen shots actually resemble the originals when they print!
(Now if they could just fix the display problem so that I don't have
to zoom to 134%. Adobe told me that comes with the next release...)
