Post #372,431 by Another Scott 3/11/13 10:53:24 PM Reply	It worked fine for me at work with FF+SumatraPDF on Winders, with SumatraPDF as the external helper. It looks broken (the letters look like they've been through a blender) on FF+AdobeReader on Ubuntu here at home, with Adobe as the built-in helper. I blame Adobe. Cheers, Scott.

Post #372,439 by folkert 3/12/13 9:44:27 AM Reply	Xerox ColorQube 9301 made the PDF... I know that the implementation of the scanner and "PDF" engine in the Xerox is "full color and full featured" but it is not exactly a "compliant" PDF with Adobe's standard. Anyway, that is probably the reason it looks so crappy anyway, it was probably a Full Color FAX at some dithered resolution. -- greg@gregfolkert.net PGP key 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C
Post #372,440 by Another Scott 3/12/13 10:53:12 AM Reply	It doesn't seem to be dithering. It looks like the letters were shaken off the page and just thrown back on it randomly. It's like the instructions for the letter positions were jumbled somehow. I've very infrequently seen things like this before. Weirdness. Cheers, Scott.
