Subject: RE: Identifying the source to generate a PDF?

Yes, there is a way to check the "document creator" of a PDF file Rick:
you can simply open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat and choose File >
Document Properties > Description. There, you will see the Application.

And there are more advanced PDF preflighting tools, such as Enfocus
PitStop (www.enfocus.com) to check this too. 

However, if you're saying that you created the PDF document from Epic
Arbortext, I still wonder why the guys from the print shop claim that
the original document is MS Word? 

Using a Certified PDF (www.certifiedpdf.net) will prevent discussions
like these.
