No. if it does, it is not an Adobe source distiller. Adobe apparently
refused to deal with the 'negotiation tactics' employed by MS.  
Very unfortunate.

Yes, it is something I should probably do in this case as well - although it
is a bit cheeky given they are the publishing company.

So I read somewhere that 2007 has its own embedded PDF converter.  Anyone
used it?

Indeed, Warren (L) & Christine (K)

Inevitably, Word files come back to haunt you in some horridly altered state
(altered by someone else) with your name still embedded as their author.

My policy is to only ever send out PDFs.
(They also cannot pick up the attributes of changed Normal.DOT templates on
other people's PCs and won't "repaginate" to suit the selected Windows
virtual printer at the recipient site in question or display incorrectly due
to the reciepient's lack of installed standard / non-standard / recent
version fonts.)

The reason Word docs change on every PC they land on, is because the local
version / installation of Word seeks the above attributes and more before
opening a doc or dot file.

PDFs, on the other hand, are stable on every modern platform, never bite
back (and rarely demand the latest version before they can be opened) plus
you can never be accused of sending anyone a VB macro virus.

Cheers,
