RE: Japanese PDFs

[John Pitt <jpitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ta Dima,

I'm doing lots of different workarounds ;-) to get acceptable Japanese
online AND PDFs I can send to our Singapore printers that don't run to 90
Mb.

Our clients luckily (we hope) all have Win95 J, so they will be able to use
the PDFs made with the *methode-Dov*. I am using a cruddy old HP 4Si/4Si MX
PS driver for the printer and breaking the book in 3 to reduce the size.

But some good news for all of those who have to deal with double-byte
languages is that Chinese S is a snack (well, so far ...)

Roll on Acrobat 4
