Can anyone explain exactly what PDF is. Most importantly, how it relates to
postscript? My under    standing is that it is a data format, optimized for
representing documents. It is a binary format, and not only     stores the
document text, but font info, formatting info, links, bookmarks, and other
objects like images and sound. It does include security/encryption
provisions. Can anyone be more complete? I'm trying to get a handle on
accessibility and understand more about the relationship between postscript
and PDF.

the jumpers set first, see if it works as is, then if not, yes, do check the
bios. I avoided the secondary controller option, because most 486 machines
I've seen had to ide ports, that were in fact the one and only controller.
So, I didn't want to totally confuse him, if this happened to be the case
with his motherboard.
