Congrats on getting it to work. Now why am I not part of the church family list? Sniff, sniff, walking away sad.

Yes, it does have to do with rights management. Since it is much harder to change the document, it is less of a worry that someone will plagiarize or outright steel it.

And you are correct that some PDF's are actually pages that have been photocopied. OCR would be possible but might have restrictions and also might require more proof reading since OCR is not always foolproof. Thus is would be a bit more expensive to create it I suppose.

You might want to see if you can get a copy of Acrobat Writer at a student rate. Although I think that some documents are locked up so that even this will have only limited capabilities. You should go to a computer store or maybe your schools CS department and see if you can get definitive answers for these things. Good luck!

You know I am not really an expert on PDFs. Looking at the Acrobat 8 page, it says, "Use familiar commenting tools including a highlighter, sticky notes, pencil, strikethrough, and more. Also attach files from other applications inline as comments." Which sounds like what you need. Again, I suggest you go to your computer store (is there something on campus) and see if there is a student discount. There is a free trial download, I don't know if all the features will work with this but give it a shot and see.

I totally agree with what Randy said (or was it Paula). It was the most creative effort (by Blake) that the show has ever had. It was a real surprise how well it worked. Blake in the final 3 just for having the guts to do this.
