[access-uk] Re: PDF and Printing

No problem Daran.  In the PDF format the whole document is 
considered to be an 'image' because, while in Acrobat Reader I 
believe that text is rendered using a praphical method, probably 
vector graphics, to preserve the fonts and all the other 
atributes of text.  So, whhether you've got text alone, text and 
graphical drawings, and /or pictures, its all considered to be an 
image.  Which I guess, in escence, is what it is, albeit a 
special kind of image representation.

What beats me is how Acrobat text thus represented can end up 
being readable if pasted into Word.  Someone much more 
knowledgable than me must answer that one, (smile).

Ray, what do you mean by "centres the image to the page"?

This is what confuses me, if its an image while in PDF, how can 
it be
printed as text without any user intervention?

 I know I'm making this more complicated than it need be, but I 
then read
Grahams question about Word and this is what raised the above 
question.
