4059.0. "PDF Documents from VTX IR ????" by FIREBL::LEEDS (From VAXinated to Alphaholic) Mon Aug 21 1995 12:07

Not sure where else to pose VTX IR questions.. I've called the DTN
referenced with no response (yet)......

We used to make documents (like SPDs) available in 3 formats: Ascii text, 
PostScript, and MS Word.

Now, instead of MS Word, they are available in "Adobe Portable Document 
Format (.pdf) .... 

My question - I can't seem to find anyway to use a .pdf file in MS Word... 
I've tried importing, opening, etc., but it always looks like garbage.

Any help as to how a "PDF" file is used ??

Thanks

Arlan

	PDF needs it's own viewer, available from Adobe and various sites on the Internet. Look at http://www.adobe.com
