Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Thanks. Actually I saw that but I've never used Automator and when I tried to follow their instructions, I got hopelessly lost. Of course, if that was written for Snow Leopard and things are different in Lion, that might explain it. It couldn't possibly be that I'm technologically deficient. could it?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

below the automator suggestion is an app suggestion. It is not cheap at $80 though.

The new hardware shipped with a new version of JellyBean, 4.2, that has the described features. I don't know when it will show up as an update for existing Nexus hardware.

Multiple users is a tablet-only feature of 4.2.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A *new* version of Jellybean? Why does it have two versions? How is that not going to make a fractured market more confused?

All pdf to word converters leave some artifact. Pdf convert from scansoft does the cleanest job in my experience, though you will almost always have to do some manual cleanup. Pdfs are designed for printing,and they simply do not convert cleanly to word.

If you have hundreds of software developers on a project it's going to keep getting new features and with new features comes a new version number.

I hadn't paid much attention to that Solid to PDF app because it seemed pricey. Now that I've downloaded the demo, I'm really impressed. It seems to be retaining most of the original formatting. The Wondershare app isn't nearly as good. While the documents may look the same on the surface, when you go to 'view invisibles', you immediately see the difference. Considering the time it will save me, it will be $80 well spent. Thanks so much for persisting! I am very grateful for your help.

I'm glad that worked!

I might be the second to last person to see Firefox's 3D page visualisation tool (our business users *really* proved their point--there's hearing your app goes 15 tables deep, and then there's seeing it does). I will be showing that tool around Monday like no one's business.
