atw: Re: Tip for creating PDFs

Thanks Michael.

I should have mentioned the downgrade solution in the original post, rather
than just warning people off the nasty combination.  A great example of
badly-planning tech writing :) 'What to do if your computer has been badly
set up'.  Mind you, that combo was my own silly fault - I wasn't thinking
when I installed software, just put on the latest versions of whatever I
could find.

Oh well.  All serene now.  3 days sleep after the huge project we just
completed, and I'll be up and running (*sigh* as if!).

Dear Naomi (Kramer)

Upgrade one / downgrade the other.  Whatever gets the ages / eras / epochs 
of the two interacting applications in synch.

Good use of lateral thinking, plus you solved some other issues.

Well done!
