Subject: Re: [ws-rx] New Issue: Harmonization of Line Numbers accross PDF,DOC versions of working draft
Doug: I just fixed the PDF (I can upload it to Kavi separately if someone wants). When Adobe Acrobat distills a PDF, it merely copies the line numbers from the word doc. The process is fool proof (even I, a lowly Adobe standards guy can manage to operate it ;-). The PDF on the site was probably made from a different *.doc than the one currently on the site. I am not sure about the Open Office Doc. Maybe someone else can comment on that. If it cannot ensure consistent line numbers with the other docs, we are creating a problem for ourselves and the audience of this spec as we go forward. The issue before the TC is whether or not we: 1. replace the PDF now with the one with correct line numbers and ask all issue owners to make sure their line numbers in their issues are matching the line numbers in both the PDF and Doc files; 2. leave the PDF up as it is and ask all issue owners to qualify their line numbers with the exact document version they referenced, then make sure the next editors revision has consistent line numbers. I have created a new PDF but will not upload it until I have clarification. This really should be a non-issue since it is trivial but does need to be resolved. I am assuming that the next version will not have the same line numbering mismatch (at least not between the Doc and PDF versions).
