What a difference a space makes...
Feb. 7th, 2008 11:17 amPrice would appear to be the principal difference between PDFCreator (free) and PDF Creator ($$$). I learned that yesterday, in passing, while I was trying to figure out a way to fax back a confirmed and signed PO from the new client, without actually printing the sucker out, confirming it, signing it, and incurring international phone charges for the fax.
In the end, I made use of the eFax software, which doesn't understand how to deal with accented vowels or the euro sign.
The Word file supplied with the assignment appears to be an unedited OCR scan of the PDF and unusable with Wordfast. I have so informed the client, who basically gave what I imagine to be an electronic Gallic shrug and told me to not worry about delivering a segmented bilingual document, as had been requested.
The meeting has been going at full speed all morning, but folks seem to have relaxed over the past 30 minutes. The display screen at the end of the room is showing the NASA TV feed of preparations for today's scheduled launch (which the weather flacks doubt will happen). Meanwhile, I've been amusing myself looking up synonyms for some of the terminology that's cropped up.
Cheers...
