will work on scanned documents outputted to pdf? Preferably free?
Thanks, scottyg
\_ Check Abbyy or Scansoft. Not free.
\_ Thanks...I think I'd prefer a free or opensource piece of
software unless there is a huge difference in quality. I

not needed. A decent-size starter toner cartridge would be nice.
\_ I got a used HP 2200D off craigslist for $250 or so. It's
great, it does postscript and prints on both sides of the
paper, which is nice. Speed is not too bad. -phr

keep just one part of it, without buying Adobe Acrobat? Thanks.

a text file or a Word document? I tried copying/pasting the text
(after highlighting it), but the document formatting is lost. I can
manually enter carriage returns, but it's a long document (~50 pages)
The entire document is just paragraphs of text. This is on a OS X
machine. Thanks.

pdf document, so that I end up with one 40 page .pdf file and one
140 page .pdf file? I only need to do this once, so if there's
some business that'll do this, I'd pay for it, but I don't want to
buy software to only do it once. I have Acrobat Professional, but I
can't figure out how to use that to do this.

slower than xterm / rxvt on Linux/x86. Even a 500 MHz P2 has
quicker response than a 1.33 Ghz G4 when you are logged
into a server via SSH. I'm wondering what could be the cause
of this lag. Is it something that can be adjusted? I find the
sluggishness the only think holding me back from using a Mac

you use to view PostScript on Windows?
\_ Not really. The usual method is to convert to PDF using distiller
and view it using Acrobat Reader.
