Dear list,

has someone experience with the quality of pdf-files/printouts created fr=
om
the abi files? How easy/difficult is it to get the pdf-file from the abi
trace file? It would be nice to use pdfs to replace the (still fairly
expensive) color prints. Is Adobe Acrobat the only (additional) program
required?

Thanks, Bernd
