atw: Re: Useful new words

Hedley, shouldn't that be 'exacrobate' rather than 'acrobate'. 
Here's another though: getting Distiller to produce what you want is an
'acrobattle'

acrobate (v.) -- to make a bad PDF worse using Acrobat
acrobation (n.) -- the emotion you experience when Distiller produces a 
PDF with words and phrases missing at random

These cropped up while we were discussing the frustrations of Acrobat
this 
morning.
