 >Nice images!!  I like the fisheye look!
It seems that you are one of the few, who gets on the right track. Anyway, 
thank you so much.

Yes, I always use Print-Screen to capture others' images. What I got were 
images of just screen resolution. Actually, absolute security does not 
exist in the Internet world. I think you are a computing expert, you must 
know that when someone deliberately does something bad, you might not be 
able to stop him/her. In this aspect, you are right.

 >Why would I ever want to rotate someone else's image?
Oh God. This is the 3rd time I answer to this question. This is a just 
feature that might be used by viewer. It's not compulsory to do that. You 
might think it as useless feature as the documents are not vector graphics 
images. Viewers can use it as they wish.

This might be due to the version of your reader. Acrobat v4.0 (the PDF 
writer) and older versions of the Reader (v4.0 or earlier) have problems 
with browsers. Uninstallation of old reader and installation of v4.05 might 
solve the problem. I used v4.05 Reader to work with IE5 and 5.5, no problem 
occurred. Please make a trial.

The amount of work done was just the same as processing JPG images as all 
the thumbnails and PDF files were generated by "batch processing" of 
Photoshop. It is so easy to do that.
Many many people and their friends in Hong Kong visited my sites and told 
me that the documents (PDF) worked well with their browsers (both Netscape 
and IE). They even asked me to add detail descriptions to each of the 
images (actually the documents). Anyway, thanks for your comment. I will 
visit the site and read the columns.



No matter how good or bad my choice is, I would like to ask all of you to 
do me a favour by :
1. Un-install any old versions of Acrobat Reader (v4.0 or earlier) from your PC
2. Download v4.05 from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/alternate.html
3. Install the reader
4. Then view the images at my site http://acad.polyu.edu.hk/~fokww/HoIR.html

Thank you so much.



regards,
Symon
