[DDI-SRG] printability of pdf files

[Joachim Wackerow]

I made further tests.

Printing with Acrobat Reader Version 8: NOT successful
Result: one page with short Postscript errors messages

Printing with Acrobat Professional Version 7: successful

Now I don't know, if this is a problem of my local installation or a 
problem with the PDF files and Acrobat Reader 8.

Wendy: it seems to be reasonable that your Acrobat, which has generated 
the PDF's, can print them.

Could please somebody else verify that these PDF's are printable with 
Acrobat Reader 7 or 8?
