Textmaker (Softmaker/Ashampoo Office) 2008
Darwin:
Funny - I actually have SoftMaker Office 2008 installed (academic licencing is a wonderful thing) and had meant to test this out myself. Of course, I've forgotten. I'll try and do so today or tomorrow and post back here with my own "experiences".

please do :up:
there's relatively few posts at the Softmaker2008 forums yet so it would be great to know if this just me
Problems:
* huge file size (almost 2MB for one page with the three fonts mentioned above) with "embed only embeddable.." selected
* totally unreadable PDFs with "do not embed.." selected
tomos:
Mike!
check first are you using "revision 482" I'm not and Ashampoo version says I'm uptodate..so awaiting reply from Softmaker, will post again
tomos:
Support/ServicePack/etc =

for Version 482
tomos:
well now much better :)
File with fonts embedded comes to 167KB
File without fonts embedded is readable except for the following
# it can handle é but not ´
# it cant handle ' a single apostrophe like would normally be used in Tom's or in some surnames e.g. O'Connor
# it cant handle euro symbol €thread is here if anyone has PDF problems!
