    Save as PDF in SW 2006-3.01 and Acrobat Reader 5.0

    We have sent PDf's off to the machine shops for quotes and get the same questions. I have instructed purchasing to tell them to upgrade to 7.0. I guess they have since we did get a quote from them. I think they should give you an imcompatible version error meesage instead of th one you get

    importing images file to use for embossed logo??

    CMDDIA is not working

    Our IT dept put a new printer in our dept. They gave it a different name. I run a script file for plotting. I usually can shut off the plot splash screen so I can see the line by line questions. I have cmddia set to 0 and I can still see the splashscreen. What am I doing wrong?

    Capturing sys reg profile settings

    Is there a way to capture the system registry profile settings? What we are up against is if someone logs into a different computer, they lose all their settings since its on the other machine. Thanks in advance

    I usually do the installs logged in as cadadmin with admin rights. Is "powerUser" any different?
