PDF basics
This page links to pages that contain more information on the Portable Document Format. The information is geared towards prepress operators, who probably don’t use all the possibilities that PDF offers. Currently some of the links still take you to my old site.

Hi… I like this page.. It seems like a great resource.. I just think it seriously needs to be brought up to date, since a lot of the things written here are so obviously obsolete..
I am working on it. Most of the links are updated now but I have added pointers to some new topics that also need to be covered.
