docx is probably a fine format to use while making PDFs but you export to PDF

pram posted:what about if u need to generate windows in your compositing window manager you use an immediate-mode in-client API which implements the PostScript/PDF imaging model but is exceptionally optimized and draws into buffers shared with the window manager so it can composite as fast as the video hardware can manage you certainly don't construct a PDF and send it to a server or something like a “Display PDF”

Main Paineframe posted:silverlight, games for windows live, etc there are things worse than cancellation "upgrading" from ocs 2007 to lync 2010 was actually a rip and replace operation. nothing, nothing compatible between the two. not even the phones. total ground-up reinstall required every sharepoint upgrade is basically the same story microsoft has left business customers high and dry many, many times.

It is bit odd to provide a form that can be electronically filled out and validated but also simply printed out at the same time and manually filled in. It seems to work great for government docs though.

even internal HR will occasionally pull that poo poo I've walked into interviews where I've talked only to people in the company, look at the resume the technical interviewer has in their hand which was clearly my resume copy/pasted into plaintext format for JobVite or some poo poo. I'll hand them a printed copy and they go "oooh that's much better"
