Yes, that works "better", I got 882 KB over my modem line,
24 pages, all but two white (after a error message), a small
gray rectangle on page one, and a blue rectangle on page 19,
which is a link to draft-kucherawy.  But I have this draft
already.  Why don't you use plain text or XHTML, converters
to "Proprietary Document F*ck*p" exist.  Bye, Frank

Please. Or if you must generate PDF documents, do not use Adobe Acrobat's
tools for it. Their PDF tends to be fairly fragile, especially to users
without blazingly recent versions of the reader, and especially for
documents that involve internationalized operating systems or character
sets.

Use PDFcreator, available at pdfcreator.sourceforge.nevt. It uses
ghostscript to do the same sort of "print to a file" function as Adobe's
"Distiller" tool, and the PDF tends to be smaller and far more stable,
although it admittedly takes longer to generate.
