Reply to: RE>Acrobat List Digest-Friday, June 7, 1996

Rob,

I too would like this ability on the UNIX side. Everything I've read in this
group, and all the information I've seen from Adobe, leads me to believe
that this is NOT supported on UNIX. If you or anyone else finds a way to
do this, I'd love to know. Any information or questions can be forwarded
to me directly at ned.portune@sdrc.com. Thanks.
