Thanks, Mike.
We still have Acrobat 5 on another PC in case we have to create a PDF
index, but all of our docs are now distributed on the Web. And users don't
got to a central page anymore to view our doc (that was our Web designers'
idea, not ours), so I can't inform them about the message there. But maybe
I can find another way to communicate the information to them.
