Michelle is right. You can create a PDF file, and in Acrobat Exchange you
can do minor edits to it. Basically, you can make text edits to a line of
text at a time, so you can correct typos, things like that.
PDF files are NOT bitmaps. They are actually text, and you can copy text
out of them in Exchange, as well -- in fact, it's the easy way to make the
TOC links, to copy the text of a header, create the bookmark, and paste the
text in as the title of the bookmark.
But from the mail I'm seeing arriving, I'm guessing others have a lot to say
about this as well. Think I'll go read.
