Now that is something I'd not thought of. I don't care too much for Adobe,
but while PDF files are invariably too big (IMHO) they are at least a standard
across the board.
I'll put together a package which they can ignore at their peril (and, again,
IMHO) they will do. They'll just blame it on the Euphoria language and the
implementation of stretchBlt(). I think I would in their shoes. Especially
since it was OK with Blitting.
