Lou Quillo has the lowdown on how to create your own Acrobat PDFs, without having to shell out your hard earned $$$ (and no, I’m not talking about Kazaa). Oddly enough, someone asked me just the other day if I could help them produce a few proposals in PDF. How convenient.
Some other nice utilities found in Linux is the “2” utilities. E.g. postscript conversion “2” Portable document format called ps2pdf there are many others besides pdf available
The real credit certainly goes to the folks at U of W for building GhostScript, and to the others I cited who’ve explained things. Any of us — with enough energy and few distractions — could reverse-engineer PDF: Google obviously has. Actually doing it is the valuable piece.
It’s funny how the popularity of a file format bears directly on its commercial undoing. I’d guess that Adobe — not just PDF — couldn’t happen today. Folks younger than me probably know that innately.
Last, GhostWritten (?) PDFs aren’t as rich as they might be, but the not-so-LazyWeb will sort that out too before long.
