[WEB4LIB] converting MAC to PC files

["Rodrigue, Réal"]

The .sea extension means that it is a Self-Extracting Archive. If the file
was supposed to be made available for a PC user, it should not have been
made into such an archive. A normal .pdf file made on a MAC would have been
readable in a PC environment; I do that all the time.

Objet : [WEB4LIB] converting MAC to PC files



I have been asked to post a document on the library web page. The person
who created it uses a MAC; I operate in a PC environment.  Document is too
long and dependent on graphics and formatting to make retyping a
possibility.  We both use Adobe Acrobat.  The developer converted the
document using Adobe, changing it to a .sea extension.  I have not been
able to open it.

This is an area where both the developer and I are working in the dark.  I
am hoping that others have found a way to make the MACs and PCs
communicate.  Appreciate any help you can offer.
