SV: Re: [sdiy] GR-500 schematics

Acrobate's PDF Writer, lett's you set the compression algorithm!
Theres plenty to chose from to get confused! :-)

Besides never *include* any custom fonts when doing PDF schematics,
always stick to Arial, or New times, otherwhise people will have problem 
reading the schematics.
