[FM Discuss] pdf preflight

[adam]

i think PDF is going to be currency for paper production for a long 
time and paper will be important for a long time. also in other 
communities, such as scientific research, PDF is the currency. they 
love pdf...

so i think it is well worth it.

also, have you tried bookjs? it will replace the current objavi PDF 
renderer soon
