[Leica] anyone up for making a digital file format FAQ?

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Aah, I never lay down my arms. I just don't choose to negotiate with the 
enemy.
I worked as a technical writer for a Defence consultant for some time. 
Having survived applying some very proscriptive formatting to
complex technical manuals authored in Framemaker by non-native English 
speaking nations and suffered through behemoth MS Word docs
not at all suited to the task, I really like PDF's. You don't author in 
them, just distill the content from other apps and publish
as a PDF. What I publish you can print and it will look just like what I 
gave you, even cross-platform. And I can control the doc
completely. But then I'm hard copy oriented. I do have a range of web 
authoring tools but no experience. M's to use, darkroom to
work on, so much Photoshop to master, so little time. However, I'm sure 
Brian has valid technical reasons and he's suggesting the
most vanilla of options, to be turned into something publishable.

Cheers
Hoppy

Seems you can copy/paste the info from the PDF into a simple text editor
and send it in: don't give up --- you are Australian after all!!!!!!
