Acrobat Reader can only view *.PDF, the Acrobat Portable Data Format - it is a style of compressed and enhanced Postscript. (maybe your customer gave them the extension *.plt, depending on the tool he made these files with. But if you could view it with Acrobat, then the format must be PDF) Regards Matthias Mansfeld ----------------------------------------------- Matthias Mansfeld Elektronik * Printed Circuit Board Design and Assembly Am Langhoelzl 11, D-85540 Haar, GERMANY Phone: +49-89-4620 0937, Fax: +49-89-4620 0938 E-Mail: [log in to unmask] Internet: http://www.mansfeld-elektronik.de ############################################################## TechNet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ############################################################## To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TECHNET <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TECHNET ############################################################## Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information.
