My understanding is > the pdfck utility is supported at 7.0 and beyond (it's on my 8.0 system But John, we didn't get any /system/*/pdf files. We do have pdfck. Could it be that we just got a bad distribution tape? I can think of 4 reasons why you have pdf files and we don't. 1. We got a bad distribution tape. 2. Perhaps you are using 300's which have them while the 800's that we use don't. 3. You got a HP Internal distribution tape with all sorts of goodies that we customers don't get. 4. The files are on 8.0 but not 7.0. Can anyone shed any light on this?
