| Created: new PDA Friendly version of USFA rulebook I actually started this thread in the general fencing area thinking that I needed help to create a newly formatted version of the USFA rule book for use with my Palm Pilot.
A brief history of why: I got a decent Palm Treo a few years ago, and discovered that Adobe Acrobat had a version for PDA's (including the Palm Pilot). Thinking that this would be really cool to have on my new toy I fiollowed the instructions to import it to my device and ended up with... garbage. Seems that the PDA version requires a 'Tagged' document that allows for the easier reformatting of the document on the moble devices.
Until now, I was just muddling through with a 'broken' copy on my PDA, but yesterday I managed to get som time on one of our machines that has Acrobat 6 on it. I imported the rulebook and found that it was VERY easy to save it with the proper formatting.
Sooo... If there are others out there with PDA's that would like to be able to bring the book with you, feel free to e-mail me and I'll send it to you (it's about 2 MB in size). Or better yet, if there is a place on fnet that i can send it to, please tell me and I'll upload it there.
