atw: Re: Hidden text in PDF?

Hi Debra,

If you don't get a solution using hidden text, maybe a piece of
Javascript to display a message box when the PDF is opened would do the
job.

Cheers
Shane

I just have an explanation on the front page about printing the document
because it is designed to be printed double sided like a book.  If I
don't put that explanation in we get a stack of complaints about the
'missing' blank pages in the document.  I could put "this page left
intentionally blank" but that still doesn't get people to print it out
the correct way.  I figure the explanation only needs to appear on
screen, not in the print out.

I can put some instructions with a link to the PDF, but this doesn't
cater for people who search and just get the PDF, completely bypassing
the instructions.

Deborah, can you tell us what you want to use this for? Acrobat has some
very basic annotation tools and you can control what gets printed, but
it's
hard to know whether these would suit your purpose. Could you just
create
separate versions for printing and viewing, as is the case with some web
pages?

Cheers
