Re: pdf's on David's site

I can't reach the URL which David listed either, but he did send me an
e-mail with the files attached, so I'll make some comments....

WOW!

It's now clear to me why there is such a huge price difference between the
little PDF Writer utility I have and the full blown program from Adobe!
David's ability to "optimize" the files, for either screen or printer, makes
a dramatic difference in size of the files and his are obviously the ones we
should go with.

The 44k pdf file which Dave produced contains 9 pages, not 6 (there are 6
pages of guidelines and 3 pages for the Entry Form, Aquascape Info Form and
Photo Release). I have asked him to make one minor revision on a "page
break" but once that it done, this thing is going to be perfect. The file is
exactly what will be submitted to TAG for printing there and is essentially
a complete Information/Entry package containing ALL of the Guideline
information from the web site.

I'm still a little boggled about how we could have gotten 24+ pages down to
9. Erik, do you still want us to shoot for a 2 page summary?
