Re: [foxboro] DM to FoxView Conversion Tool

Adam,
We did manual correction for a small project after using pdf_fdf utilities. 
We manually adjust the color pallet and do correction Font sizing and the 
path modification.
I'm interested in the package; I would appreciate if you send it me.

Thank you,
M. Govindan
