We've all done stuff like this ... and don't believe anyone who says they haven't! For example, I am deeply into extreme OO Perl, Mason and the like. However, I messed up when asked to put PDF bookmarks into a PDF using PDF::API2. Now, Acrobat Reader calls these things Bookmarks. They show up in the Bookmark tab. Everyone calls them Bookmarks. But blow me down, if they're not 'really' called 'Outlines'. Why would you think they're called outlines unless you're a PDF geek/guru? Hates PDF 'outlines' ... The trouble is, even if you are a mega-hyper-geek and a guru in your field, there are things you need to just *work* without having to become a guru in that thing too. Now, I am a pretty experienced Unix programmer, but this is why I gave up on Linux when Max OS X came out. (Well not quite -- I waited until 10.2). I hates having to geek about to do things like burn CDs ... <Realises he's laying himself open to responses from Gnomophiles> Rob On 25/01/2006, at 12:50 PM, Guy Thornley wrote: >> Not to rain out your f?te, but: >> Fcc: ^ >> >> >>> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.9i >> >> (You might need to upgrade for this to work. > > [snip] > > OMG.
