Just because I am big on the "not wasting paper" scene...  I would
suggest that everybody install a PDF writer as one of their printers.
This works well for the occasions where you need to print a document to
scan it right back into an electronic file.  This also works well to
recode items you need to find later, for example training records.  I
would suggest "dopdf" or "cutepdf" they are both free and work well.

The secured .pdf files are a bit cumbersome. Jack is right; there is no
practical way to use the documents as a softcopy.  The easiest way I've
found to deal with the system is to immediately print a hard copy and
hand it over to our document control. This seems a bit archaic and not
very green. It is also really easy to mess up due to all the
restrictions. For example if you send to the wrong printer and cancel
the job, you are out of luck. You only get to print once.

I did have problems with one of the documents that would not print
correctly due to something about the way the last few pages of boiler
plate were added to the end. Fortunately, if you call the people at IHS
they are very responsive and will help you through any difficulties.

Apart from installing the special viewer required I haven't needed any
IT help. 


Best regards,
