Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	mmm... good to hear that it's getting more formats. I still stick with my onw: http://www.gwspikval.com/jooel/manual why? because, I can't get your pdf-opened with my current system. neither can I open the chm-file. neither the doc. but, for ppl, who like reading pdf's it may be a good call. cheers, _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	that's what I mean. none of my os'es came with acrobat reader allready installed. only linux understood pdf, but not newist files. chm is better because it supports windows as default. html is best as no operating system needs add ons. right? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I would add other one: the printer output is the same what you see in the readers window. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

AbqBill AbqBill Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-06-17 Posts: 22 Loc: Albuquerque. NM	I might add that PDF format is a good choice since 1) KiXtart is a Win32 program, 2) Acrobat Reader is free software for Win32, and 3) not everyone uses (or likes) MS Word.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	yeah. that's why for win32 the chm is best what comes to availability... you don't need to install anything like with pdf's. but, with linux'es handling windows nt domain, kix works fine, but no acrobat distiller 4 files that's the difference. even with stupid clients the html version is readable. and that's it's strength: all the places kix can go, also the manual is supported, by default. anyway, I still think that widening the format scale is just good.

MCA MCA KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-04-28 Posts: 5152 Loc: Netherlands, EU	Dear, Another advantage of PDF against Word: there are no know virus for them. The disadvantage is that PDF can become much bigger that original file. greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	MCA: PDF is scriptable, therefore it can contain viruses. I believe there's even a virus-PDF out there already. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Mr. Stewart (or should I call you Bill ), I have an idea for the Acrobat Version of the documentation.. Within the Acrobat (Distiller, Printer, etc.) there is a forms tool.. It would neat in the PDF to have links to the various functions within the documentation. Thanks, Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's

Possible formats: - Word 97 (already exist) - Word 2000 (already exist) - PDF - CHM (a good and actual one is from www.scriptlogic.com) - HTML greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA
