A couple notes on PDF compatibility:
One setting that MUST be done in recent versions of Acrobat Reader is setting the
Preferences -> Page Display -> Display page to edge
to CHECKED. Otherwise some pages will cut off the margins with white space. Ugly and wrong. I know why but I don't understand why Adobe ships it out unchecked.
This magazine has currently moved from DocMaker to Ackrowbat. This gives us more design flexibility and allows more platforms to read it, but it also makes it harder to view. The viewer program that you need to read this, is a huge, bloated, self-important application that you have to download. They still are having problems with the font issues, and installation isn't as easy as it should be. But it appears to be something that will continue to be supported and thus, get better. Maybe someone will write a killer self-contained document format someday. If that happens, we'll probably hop over to that. But nothing new has happened with DocMaker, and I don't see any kind of all-in-one HTML in the works. So PDF is as good as we can manage right now. And with plug-ins for netscapade more or less here for page by page transfer, net-viewing is even easier (well, depending on the page and the speed of your connection). When the aaamberizer comes out..if it's free, then I'll convert the Xenos in PDF to work that way. But for now you'll have to download the whole thing. But it's still a cool thing to get the ambert viewer though, because it can anti-alias the text..and that makes some pages look SO good...even if they do load slower..
The pictures and such contained herein always look best on a 21", 24 bit screen. If you don't have one (or, actually two would be better), then do the best you can. Due to the set page size of this format, printing produces more predictable results. But don't kill a tree if you don't have to. We like it to stay mostly digital.
