Didn’t he prefer theatrical acting & live audience and thus played his TV role like a theater actor would? I vaguely remember reading about it.

Those tend to traditionally exaggerate gesture, mimic and tone so the last row still gets everything even when they’re further away.

non-native speakers hate those :-)

“Captain, the front shields fell off.”

healthy eyesight was just a small price to pay back in those days :-P

lower decks.

I dislike basically everything after Enterprise but this is… not too bad. I’d say it’s maybe a bit like “Simpsons meets Star Trek”. Definetly worth to check out a few episodes to see if you like it. If you like the jokes, you’re in for a cool ride.

His transformation during the series is interesting. He’s developing as he learns about humanity.

Also don’t miss the episodes in Voyager featuring him ;-)

She played Beverly Crusher

Gates McFadden is clearly the unsung Hero of the series for me.

Both as character and as actress.

We live in the real world. If you don’t submit the government forms how they want you to, they shrug and fine the shit out of you.

Then you just don’t know the law. There is no legislation that enforces Acrobat in any civilized country without alternative.

Quite the opposite: Send macroridden documents to any decently secure infrastructure and you get a big fat warning in the subject if it’s not filtered entirely. Officials LOVE to do that extra call ensuring that this document is really from you before opening it and no phishing attempt…not.

EDIT: we got some real Adobe Acrobat Fanboy here, eh? ;-)

At least I hope you’re not.

Of course I do and I expect my employees to report such incidents to IT. Such documents are common attack vectors.

In my experience, customers are not aware of failing interoperability or possible security threats and often grateful for such hints.

There’s a reason why libreoffice (and I guess other office suits aswell), evince or antivirus show a big, fat warning when opening such documents. Surely there are cases were macros are useful or necessary, but if they have to leave the company, you’re doing it wrong.

That shouldn’t happen with fault free hardware and standard apps from official appstores. have you tried reaching out to the support?

do a factory reset and start from scratch. do optimizations step by step to learn the cause of your problem.

Formulars, such as calculating a sum based on the preceding fields.

• Field formatting, such as appending .00 to a currency amount

You’re doing it wrong. PDF with embedded javascript is a nightmare and it still doesn’t make PDF equal to excel.

Better generate your documents with your favourite HTML templating engine from your DB and convert them to simple PDF in the last step.

LibreOffice notoriously renders Microsoft Office documents incorrectly in my experience.

Only had that experience with badly designed, macro ridden documents which there’s no excuse for anyway nowadays. I use a lot of print templates (various label printers) and it works flawlessly.

Also, exporting a non MS file format usually imports fine in LibreOffice, even with complex documents.

The ability to quickly edit PDF makes it the office suite of my choice.
