It's Adobe. Same reason you're running Linux, I'd guess. They managed to
ruin my favorite audio editor, and have pretty much wrecked what they
touched. When they took over Pagemaker, they ran two more versions and then
killed it. Where alternatives to Adobe are available, I always use them. To
my thinking, Microsoft is benign by comparison.

Ghostscript reads PDFs and creates PDFs from Postscript. Most of the PDFs
on my music website are created in Ghostscript. How the Ghostview GUI deals
with the underpinnings doesn't interest me these days ... it works with the
nightmare output of Finale, and that's good enough for me.

In any case, neither of these are the problem with the document in
question. On-topic is good.
