There are two commercial
links on his mails which, in principle, I don't have a problem with. The
post was slightly rude, and ballsy, however. Max is a valued contributor to
these lists, and an accomplished expert in PDF forms.
Rich From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lauterbach.Mark Sent: Friday, March 26, 2004 10:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PDF-Forms] Filling out & saving a PDF form using Reader Hi, Nick
I'll bite - Here's what would
make us happy:
A way for our form users to
save their PDF forms locally in a way that can be opened again for
re-editing that doesn't require additional installations (not possible on public
computers like at a library) or a network connection (security
concerns). Oh, and said solution should not be priced based on per form or
per user silencing but rather on a one-time application product fee. It
would be nice to pay less than six figures for this, too.
Yes, I know that's asking a
lot, but there you have it.

Why is it that in the
information technology world it is OK to charge someone again and again for a
tool they've purchased. I'd hate to have to pay rent every time I wanted
to use my cordless drill... or, for that matter, to have to destroy my
drill when I want to buy a new one. Why isn't there a product out there
that would legally "extend" PDF forms to allow local saves? This is
an functional ability, not a "service" that requires any kind of time or
resource investment on the part of the selling party.

One more thing - and not to get
in the middle of anything, but I find it a little odd to ask someone to "quit
advertising your seminars" when one's own emails tend to include links to one's
own methods of making a living. Just my opinion.
