CJ, If you are willing to send your file to me I will convert it for you to a
PDF.

Been there, done that. I'm just tired of, after being here for 9 years,
taking calls complaining about things that are wrong, wrong, wrong in the
handbook. It would irritate me, too, if I drove x amount of miles to see or
enter something that was listed on a specific date, only to find out when I
got here, that there was a typo and it is a different date.

I'm doing the Hamilton County (Ohio) Fair's newspaper this year. In the
past, another group did it and apparently very little got proofed. Some
stuff listed as being provided (bedding for animal, e.g.) has not been
done for years.
Hopefully, I got the premiums correct. Imagine 14 pages of stuff like this:
19-118 Huck Weaving $4 $3 $2
19-119 Lace Net Darning $4 $3 $2
19-120 Wall Hangings $4 $3 $2
19-121 Clothing $4 $3 $2
19-122 Rugs $4 $3 $2
19-123 Your Choice $4 $3 $2
19-124 Afghan $6 $4 $2
that was done in 8 pt or smaller type! Fortunately, I was able to use
Abbyy Fine Reader to scan the pages. I had to do a little adjusting to
bring it from Word to the paper but overall it averaged about 45 minutes
a page for everything.

Thanks all! For clarification, I work at a fairgrounds. We are a
non-profit
orginazation so I'm restricted in what I can spend. Since the newspaper
which prints our handbook for us started charging us, this project has
become
even more of a headache. The paper uses Mac with Quark programming, and
we,
of course, use Windows. Finding a cost-effective way of producing this
handbook has been very challenging. Not to mention, finding a way of
producing it so it is CORRECT - we now get only one chance of proofing it
after they have made their mock-up. When it goes back to them, if they do
not catch our corrections, that is the way the handbook is printed. Makes
for some difficult times when fair comes.
I have hopes that this year, with the newspaper saying if we send our proof
as PDF, that things will run more smoothly in that department. Wish me
luck!!! ;-)
