[Rhodes22-list] Word to PDF

[Michael D. Weisner]

Rob,

CutePDF is a great way to generate pdf files from any application by simply 
"printing" to the pdf printer.  You are correct to send out pdfs in lieu of 
doc (or docx) files as they are a bit more difficult to alter, although a 
pdf editor or AdobeAcrobat (not reader) can change the contents.  If you 
wish to lock the documents, use Adobe security set to permit printing but 
not editing.  I also am an advocate of using digital signatures to prove 
that the document is unaltered and sent by me.

Of course, this all apples to Rummy's fan diagram since we never know who 
might maliciously change those part numbers ;~)
