Many thanks, bro! Very glad to hear it. I had a real pain in the ass problem with a PDF file I needed to file with a government regulator a couple of years ago and PDFPen saved my butt. It was a bit flakey - especially when editing some long text and the alignment kept flipping around, but it ultimately worked and that was a huge thing for me. The whole business about whether you can save a PDF form as filled-out or not (and it's a lot less clear than one might think - if you do fill in a form and try to save it, make damned sure the content was really saved before you close the sucker!) was ridiculous. > Off topic: Are you--BreadWithSpam--a guy who owns a midi-equipped > Parker Fly?

The rest gets trashed.
