Are you or are you not claiming that PDF is a native format on the Mac? it absolutely is a native format and for the reason i gave, because the graphics engine is based on pdf. that is not at all the same as saying the graphic interface was derived from pdf. the interface has nothing to do with this. I pointed out that by that logic the Mac graphic interface was derived from PDF which was derived from PostScript and therefore Macs run native PostScript. not directly. Nor do they, I bet, run native PDF. you don't 'run pdf'. you're once again, lost.
