[Framers] Frame alone or Adobe too?

This reminds me of a story I heard back when edlin, an early text editor
had been left in the dust by newer tools. Allegedly, an engineer wrote a
60-page document using edlin, since it was the only tool he knew then. It
just proves that stick-to-it-ness has some value.

As to one-word-per-line, hmmm… Some English-centric folks think that
"foreign" languages have too many long words anyway.

Seriously, is there any clue to the problem? You mentioned Word->PDF. What
tool(s) were used to create the PDF? What was the source document's
creator? A font issue, perhaps?

Just curious.
