Dear Everybody: Let me apologize in advance for such an off topic posting. I recently had occasion to talk with one of the Adobe developers involved in creating the Linux Acrobat reader. He told me that one important motivation for the creation of this application was the requests that they received from Linux enthusiasts. He also told me that an Acrobat creator could be whipped up relatively quickly, but was not planned because the powers that be at Adobe did not believe that a market existed for commercial Linux applications. He suggested that I write to Sara(h?) Rosenbaum (srosenba@adobe.com), who's in charge of the Acrobat product, to express my desire for an Acrobat creator and hopefully change Adobe's corporate mind. I'm writing this email to make this suggestion to everyone else who would like to see commercial applications for Linux. I'm sure that I don't need to ask the readers of this note to make any mail to Ms. Rosenbaum polite, factual, and to-the-point (but I'm asking anyway). I'm very grateful to all of you who work so hard to bring me the OS that I enjoy so much (and no less grateful to those who write the documentation that makes it possible for me to use Linux)! Thanks!
