I'm writing to lend moral support, Ed. I no longer use PDF-XChange since I
dumped Win8.1, back on 12 September last year, after a love/hate relationship
for just on the one year mark.
I might have dumped DoPDF, etc earlier than then but I can't remember what I
ended up using to read PDFs with or when; I just remember uninstalling whatever
it was that HP plonked on the PC. I do remember that I saved roughly 200Mb of
HDD real estate. I already had a 'network printer' PDF creation solution going
for nearly a decade.

Yep. Don't feel out of step with that. I do it all the time, though I was
lucky with a couple of Wikipedia-originated docs today. They came named as I
needed.
OTOH, I am suffering a Linux error of some sort where the date of creation on
every page footer is reporting 1/1/1970; the time is correct. Weird.[shrug] I
think it may be the Xubuntu version I'm running causing that; it needs
replacing but I can't for quite a while.
I used to think I was the only one afflicted with such problems. I am glad to
hear of your battles with these ornery machines. Don't stop writing. ;-)
Cheers,
Paul.
