Re: Multiplatform PDFs

[Jeanette Feldhousen <jeanette_feldhousen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We ship PDFs and a full text search index generated with Catalog
on HP-UX 10.20, Solaris 2.5 and Windows NT 4.0. The only problem
that I can think of off hand is that the files generated by Catalog
have uppercase names by default, and we had to write a script to 
convert the names to lower case before they would work on UNIX.
It really seems to be pretty problem-free (now watch--tomorrow 
I'll get a call from a customer that they can't read any of our
PDFs on some platform!)
