> No Robert, PDFs are ASCII...or at least some TYPE of ASCII.

Well, I've never seen one that was plain text. *PS* files (regular Postscript
files) are ASCII, absolutely -- and completely editable, in XyWrite. And you
can convert PS to PDF in a jiffy. But PDFs? I don't think so. (Maybe there's
more than one type of PDF?) I just looked at several that I DLed from Adobe,
and they are gobbledy gook except for the embedded Postscript control info.
The ones I make are all binary. Check out the PDFs in the next post...


What part of them are you trying to edit? XyWrite canNOT edit them!
