My guess is that some created this doc in MS Word or similar program and used Adobe Distiller to create PDF out if it.
I don't think any professional company uses Adobe Distiller to create documents.
Want to verify it .... just save the document to your local PC. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader and Select File Menu > Document Properties.

Adobe Distiller Adobe Distiller is a program that will convert PostScript files to Adobe PDF, Portable Document Format. This web page allows you to upload your postscript files to the server where Distiller is used to convert them to PDF. Once the conversion has taken place you will be able to download the new file back to your computer.
To be able to use this service, you must be a member of the Rice community and have an email address in the rice.edu domain. Please note that this service is only available to full time students, staff and faculty. Email addresses in the alumni.rice.edu or outreach.rice.edu mail domains will not work.

Actually, we use Adobe Distiller to make .pdf files. It is setup like a print to file thing. Instead of picking a real printer, you pick the Distiller and it prints to a .pdf file. I'm not real sure why you'd want to make a word file into a .pdf, but I'm not sure that its that unusual.

Every copy of Adobe Acrobat comes with Adobe Distiller. You can use it to save word documents or whatever documents off to PDF. This would have been the best possible way to make the document ready for the Internet. My question from all of this is if they recieved a copy of the original document by fax or otherwise it would most likely been a scan of the document and should have been in .GIF or .JPEG format, not PDF... But most scanners now scan directly to PDF file as well, but I have not looked to see if they use Acrobat Distiller for this action. I will do so tonight.
ok...the only reason i mentioned that about rice was the post from glassman...although I think that that distiller is just something that is available to student and faculty...the one i have linked is the actual Adobe program...had me really confused for a second, lol...
although it would have been funny if some students from Rice wanted to screw with OurStreet and sent him that, lol...

Here's something interesting. Open the .pdf file and zoom way in. The typed data stays very, very clear. The pictures, seal, and signature are very pixilated. I can see the picture and maybe the seal (if they dropped them onto the document from another program), but I'm not quite sure about the signature. I guess if it was all done electronically, adding a signature that way would be the only way to get it there. IMO, there's no way this is a scanned image of something that was faxed or sent to someone...that's for sure.
