Re: deleting "wrongly" in "Sometimes the term 'Acrobat file' is wrongly used to mean a PDF file". I put this in because this is sometimes used, and it is certainly wrong. Adobe define PDF, Portable Document Format; they don't call it an Acrobat file anywhere in the 1000 pages of the specification. Acrobat is a trademark too; if someone is innocently beguiled into using "Acrobat file" for PDFs not made with Acrobat, they could find themselves in hot water. If this is thought to be too prescriptive, the whole sentence should be removed, otherwise it is encouraging this incorrect use. Notinasnaid 10:09, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
