Personally, I'd make the doc PDF capable while it was fresh and in front of me, rather then going in to backfill that work later. Unless time required otherwise. In the long run, the time won't be wasted. PDF will eventually work. OTOH, if you want dispensation to drop the EPS work because PDF is broken, by all means, go ahead. ;-) It won't be _that_ much harder to do it later instead. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 IT executives rate Red Hat #1 for value http://www.redhat.com/promo/vendor/
