  • this document has layers

    Never noticed this tiny icon in Adobe Acrobat Reader:

    layers

    Looks kinda weird when enlarged:

  • the great lost opportunity

    I’ve always thought that Adobe missed a great opportunity when they didn’t make their basic PDF writer freely available for Windows. Other OSs now have transparent print-to-PDF options. If you’re lucky, a corporate PC might have MS Office Document Image Writer installed, but a 300dpi monochrome TIFF can’t compare to a PDF.

    Still, one can always install PDFCreator (if you have admin rights to the PC, of course). It’s a shame they decide to bundle a marginally dodgy toolbar/spyware package with it, but you don’t get that if you use the MSI installer package.

    Does anyone else think that the Adobe Acrobatâ„¢ logo guy looks more than a bit musaceous?
