 IMPORTANT SURVEY FOR POTENTIAL ACROBAT CUSTOMERS

=
====== === ========= ======= ========= (please mail to: acro4os2@adobe.com, with "survey" as the title of the message) Adobe is trying to assess the market demand for authoring on OS/2. Authoring is the ability to create and annotate Acrobat Documents. The Acrobat Reader, which is available free, is only able to read, print, and view created acrobat documents, as well as other processing tasks available with certain plug-in extensions. For more information on what Acrobat really does, please refer to our web page: http://www.adobe.com/acrobat/ If you are interested in OS/2 versions of Acrobat Exchange and Distiller, please respond to this email and fill in the following form. When you answer question 2, keep in mind one Acrobat license, which would include Exchange and Distiller, will have an MSRP of $295. IMPORTANT: PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ON THE SAME LINE AT THE END OF THE LINE, as the answers will be tallied automatically. Also, when a you are answering a yes or no question, simply reply "Y" or "N" in the space provided. If it is a numerical question, simply answer with one number. A range will be miscomputed (i.e. 30-50 = -20). It is also important that you keep the subject line when you reply to this message. Most important is the word SURVEY in the subject. If your mailer causes the lines to "wrap", do not worry about it. It will still be tabulated correctly. (If you have already sent in the survey, don't resubmit it. The author was up all night editing the results and writing an AWK script to handle the many ingenious ways of filling in this form. Everyone who responds to the survey will be counted once.)
