Hello, Jean
Yes, we regularly use Acrobat's tools and PDFs to review and edit our
technical literature.
>From our viewpoint here at ESS, it really is the only way to go. With a need
to get input from Hong Kong and Taipei, as well as from Austin, TX, and from
Vancouver, BC, we just don't have the time to fax and/or rely on FedEx.
Electronic reviews and feedback are simply more cost-effective, and also
allows each reviewer to effectively elaborate on the PDF via sticky note.
Fax pages can get mangled, and sometimes, a person's handwriting won't
always come through at the other end. Makes my life easier, too, since I'm a
one-man tech pubs department.
Thank God, DARPA, and Vinton Cerf for e-mail and the Internet!
