A .pdf file is quite compressed. I've had a 12 meg pdf unpack to several gigabytes, and use close to 800 pages of Georgia-Pacifics finest 24 lb bright white to make it into dead tree format. The method of makeing the pdf, is actually one of the better compressors extant. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
