AAahhhh! Beware! Most of the settings you can set DO NOT carry over when you
give the document to someone else (unless you first go to their machine and
set the same settings as those on your machine). You may recall my posting
on this topic a couple of months ago. I was trying to override the user's
PDF settings so the ones I selected would show up. The verdict--after much
fruitless searching--it can't be done.
