Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Quark 6 then. InDesign should take care of everything you need. There really are not a lot of differences by now. It's style over substance and the style preferences are mostly just whatever you are used to using already.
The govt. forms I opened in Photoshop were definitely not rasterized. Photoshop prompted me for what resolution I wanted and they looked sharp even if I chose one that was very high.Opening a pdf in a raster program like PhotoShop will prompt you to select a max dpi. If you've saved the pdf at an irrationally high resolution (1200 for me usually, because I used to send things to Press), anything lower won't show any degradation. Trying to open up a pdf saved at 72 dpi at 300 dpi will show the ragged edges because the original file is saved lower.

Excellent. Thanks.

I'm still doubtful. If the PDF has no images, I don't think it's rasterized internally. If it is, why would the file size of the PDF be so much smaller than, say, a compressed TIF file of the same page?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Y'all are going to make me spend the day reading up on the portable document format.
But I guess I did this to myself.
Another factor to consider is how portable is portable--you have the option of embedding fonts in your PDF or not.

PDF is a vector format similar to PostScript that can have embedded raster images.

Thanks, Gud. That's my understanding as well.

Warning about some spam/malware...
I opened my email this morning and in the Spam box was an email postcard. I use gmail so when I opened it, I put my cursor over the links without clicking them and saw that the links went to .exe files.
Just fyi about postcard greetings that aren't what they seem.

Dumb Tivo question. Do they work with cable boxes to get premium channels and whatnot?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do they work with cable boxes to get premium channels and whatnot?
Yes. They actually control the cable box, changing channels as they need to. So they can record whatever you can get.

But they can still do that magical watch one thing and record another thing?
I am minutes away from buying one, I think. Push me over the edge.
