So much for Plan A. :)

I am finding two issues with Adobe. One is that it appears that security is flawed with Adobe Reader. There are exposures if you choose to allow all of the functions. Second is that it is real easy to create scenarios with unacceptable response times.

However, it solves a lot of problems with printing. The game seems worth the candle.

At least, for now, that seems to be significant.

Ha Ha, you're caught ;-)

Here's one more idea. If the maps were saved as .svg files, rather than .pdf files, then the browser's print functions would work. You wouldn't have to use Adobe Reader to print. Just evoke window.print() via JavaScript.

I read that Adobe Illustrator has an option to save as an .svg file. There are tutorials that show how to create maps using Illustrator. By chance, was Illustrator used to create the .pdf files?

I'm quite fascinated by .svg files. View the source for the following, and click the browser print option.
