[PrintOwners] Adobe alternative - Fw: Provide your feedbackonCorelDRAW and Win!

[Kevin Kerr at PRO Printers]

I'll third the suggestion of CorelDraw. We use it for just about everything 
except Photoshop is used when we have a lot of adjustments to make to 
bitmaps. We have always found Corel to be more intuitive than Adobe 
products. It also has the major advantage of being able to do impositions 
right in the program itself. I think I remember someone calling it the Swiss 
Army Knife of graphic software and I certainly concur.

However, I cannot imagine doing without Acrobat. Without it, we'd be forced 
to deal with Microsoft products. And that is a fate too awful to even 
contemplate.
