I loved the PDF converter, been looking for something exactly like that. Thank you for digging up that link.

Now, before I was recessionized, I would sent you a hundred, no...two hundred bucks for such a useful find. (Well, I woulda wanted to.) I guess now, you'll just get a not so useful, but sincere, smile.

Best Regards, Galen

Thanks for all the great links the last couple of days, Elle. You've led me to sites I didn't know anything about.
