Yeah, I know that's what I look for! LOL!! Thanks for a good laugh today
and some good info too. I just discovered this program a short while ago. I
found that if you run it on a document where <table> has been used to create
margins and the entire doc is within one cell, and you have 2 or 3 pages,
you get the tiniest print you can imagine. It prints the whole doc on one
page. I posted about this little problem on a debian newsgroup and the
author of the program wrote back to tell me why it was happening. It was
driving me nuts - only some documents did this, naturally.
So now I've got them formatted with internal style and I don't get that. I
especially like the link thing. Only problem is that the docs I was doing
have links to URLs on the web and nothing opens up to go there :-( Well,
who would expect it to do that anyway, in a pdf.
