Hi Harry (and everyone),
I am very pleased to be able to tell you that Adobe is planning on
attending the June meeting. I have succeeded in getting someone from
our PDF/printing group identified as the point person. It is likely
that I will be unable to attend due to a conflict.
I will convey that the key part of the meeting is Thursday/Friday; as
well as the entire schedule.
It would help us greatly to prepare for the meeting if you could
identify any key documents that should be reviewed. I believe that I
have all the e-mails with logistical information, but a re-cap of
that would help as well.
Also, if you could re-cap any existing open questions, I'll try to
make sure we have answers for you when we show up at the meeting.
Thank you for your interest in PDF.
I anticipate good results from the meeting.
Scott
