Yuck. I'm doing that, but is there a better way?              I have in the past had good success by converting the document to       Postscript, finding the pattern of the offending links, and running a       stream editor, then converting back to PDF, eg              pdf2ps foo.pdf | sed -e "s+http://domain.com++g" | ps2pdf >foo2.pdf              Peter              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
