Yeah, I'm aware that my methods aren't useful to everyone, even if I wrote up nifty tutorials. Acrobat Pro isn't cheap, and isn't *useful* for most people; it's a powerhouse program that does a whole bunch of things that most people will never need.

I often offer people having problems with PDFs that if they can send them to me, I'll see if I can fix them. But that's a one-doc-at-a-time solution; it doesn't help them deal with PDF magazine subscriptions or large collections. (If you're having problems with PDFs, ping me; if I can fix them, I'm happy to.)
