@SuperPhotoshopgeek: good to know, thanks man. i actually made this vid jus for me so i could remember how to do this shit the one time a year when i have a client that wants a document update; figured i'd jus make it public too. anyways, PDF work is the last thing a graphic artist wants to spend time on.
