Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.

For the layout, I did it in Word using a 2 column table. Each picture and it's corresponding text was in it's own row. Then a header and footer to contain the title and copyright info. When I was all done, I just made the table borders invisible, and then printed it to a PDF using the full version of Acrobat. So it's a pretty simple layout, and the direct to Acrobat conversion retains all the text based information in its native format. Which means small files and clean printing.

I know that I hate it when I read a Tech article in print, and pictures dont match story, or key pictures that should be included in the sequence are not. But I can understand with printer that every square inch of paper is money. So they have to squeeze 10 lbs into a 5 lbs sack. I dont really have that issue in digital delivery.

For everyone thinking of doing this rebuild, I would buy that NAPA seal as soon as possible and store it for later use, as you never know when the supply will dry up!
