When sheets and pages mean the same thing (Bypass or 1-up, single-sided), redundant menu commands "print this sheet" and "print selected sheets" are no longer shown "print this page") sometimes printed the entire job when pdfFactory is the destination printer Then on top of that you get hit with all of the extra charges: airport fee, security fee, gas surcharge, 911 fee, national security fee, homeland security fee, pilot anti-drinking support program fee, food surcharge, silverware fee, aisle carpet-cleaning fee, etc.Fixed installation errors in AddPrinterDriver and AddPrinter that happened on some systemsįixed an AutoSave problem that sometimes caused large files to be saved incorrectlyįixed a bug where selective printing (e.g. Is it that hard to simply say “we charge you either first class or coach”? Can’t they make it like a bus? Here’s the fare…do you want to ride with us or not? (OK, senior and student discounts apply there, but whatever.) There’s government rate, standard rate, advanced purchase rate, late purchase rate, weekend rate, full-fare rate, advertised rate, discount rate, super-discount rate, internet rate, etc (OK I made up the names, but the idea is there.)

Great $99 roundtrip airfares from Chicago to Paris! (Some restrictions apply.)Â
