Why pay for something that I can do > with free open source software? you seem to be missing the point. yes it cost $99 and yes it is for windows only, but it won't open a scribus generated form, but yet abrobat (which costs more than $99) and reader (which is free) can open a scribus generated pdf. then why wouldn't the scribus team want to allow other pdf programs like nitro pdf to open their pdf files? cheers, dwain -- "Fear of the devil is one way of doubting God.
