Is there anything useful behind the "Options" button in the "Save as" dialog?

No - when I do a save as... it's just a file dialog.

What PDF reader and OS were you using?

I use foxit exclusively. I have seen it work before, hence the consternation.

A lot of features are added based on the Print Driver. One of the things the Live Cycle trainer hit on when I took that class was how careful the Adobe printer was at generating Adobe PDF file correctly vs other print options. Perhaps, the one time you printed you were on a machine with a licensed version of Adobe Acrobat? Alas, I don't have Visio or I would offer to print if for you with mine to test

I hear what you are saying, but all of this happened on my laptop within a week. Totally weird.

R.I.P. My favorite comedy actor. There goes my idea for the "Old Ones" sitcom.

|
|
|

To finish -
Rick [with a silent P: This house will become a shrine, and punks and skins and rastas will all gather round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader. And all the grown-ups will say, "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say, "Haven't you heard? Rick is dead! The People's Poet is dead!"
And then one particularly sensitive and articulate teenager will say, "Other kids, do you understand nothing? How can Rick be dead when we still have his poems?"

Take a drink when:
-Jack disobeys orders
-Someone helps Jack by disobeying orders
-Jack is captured
-Jack escapes
-Jack’s [wife, daughter, girlfriend, friend] is captured (++1 drink for each subsequent capture)
-Jack’s [wife, daughter, girlfriend, friend] escapes (++1 drink for each subsequent escape)
-Someone Jack trusted turns out to be the bad guy/gal
-Jack says: “DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?”
-Jacks says "DAMN IT"
-Jack travels by car anywhere in Los Angeles in less than 30 minutes
-Jack survives an attack of commandos using assault rifles with only a handgun.
-Someone uses the word “hostile”
PS. I sure hope Bauer saves London from the terrorist drone attack.[^]

I love the idea of the new season. I really want to see Bauer have to deal with the congestion charge, or cope with a belligerent bus driver. Never mind the 8 million traffic lights and 200 million roadworks. And how he'll cope with the change over at Bank is anybodys guess.

Yes, but if anyone can do it, Jack can . . .

But he'll still be able to get from one side to the other in no time, and find somewhere to park when he gets there.

Why not?
The market is pretty small, and they have to recoup their investment in converting a 240 year old work into electronic form.
Surely you as a confirmed capitalist, conservative, and accountant would not begrudge them the right to a profit, and to charge what market forces dictate?

It is out of copyright, Euler has been dead so very long!
I also get your argument, but it is not the same.
Once digitised it is done, so a reasonable price of say £10 would be acceptable.
And yes, there is the capitalist argument that they can price it how they want.
I also will be a capitalist and not buy it at that price!

And suppose they only sell 10 copies.
Do you think £100 covers the costs involved?

Let say Amazon invested $5000 to make the electronic form. With the 5 books a year selling speed (and it's light speed for Euler's book - I remember learning his calculus  ) it will take a 100 year to get the investment back!!! Amazon can't afford that!
