I was thinking when I wrote earlier that DoPDF and PDF-XChange were from
the same Company.
I just looked and learned they aren't.      Lesson Learned.

What Program do You use to read PDF's when You use Windows in a VM?
To Me PDF-XChange does real good.
I have noticed when I Read or Print some pages from PDF-XChange sometimes
there is missing text between pages in the file, but I can live with that.

CutePDF is another Program I was told could make PDF Files from pages
I see in Firefox but I chose to used DoPDF because it has a Option
to make a Small File.
Hmmmm, maybe it's DoPDF cutting the lines off when I make a PDF instead of
PDF-XChange?  Hmmmmm.     Maybe all  this time it's "ED DID IT!!!!!!!!"?

I didn't know that I'd like Typing until I learned how to use a Typewriter
when I was in Navy Radiomans School listening to Morse Code and typing
what I heard on a piece of paper.
