    As a colleague noticed very quickly: "Why is MS publishing this document as a PDF, while all the other stuff on their site are .doc's"? Answer: look at the properties and you will see that this document was created on a Mac with Quark-XPress. Mmmm, that's probably because MS-Office doesn't have a native .PDF export, like StarOffice has :-).
