I installed this utility after the mention in the list last week
(even tho I have the full Acrobat product) and have been very
impressed. Its handling of complex CSS is *way* beyond the Adobe
product.

I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned -- and did a little test.
This utility perfectly took one of my more complex CSS pages
(the screen only shows a small scrolling DIV) and laid it out
as 3 print pages with repeating headers and footers, just as
coded. The full Adobe product (latest version) only creates a
.pdf with what was on screen -- and poorly at that.
I would call this a big plus, not a problem. PDF is for print,
so using the print CSS is really the best option. Fantastic.
