Can you tell me where I can get either:
        A.  Precise specification of PDF - comparable to the PostScript Book?
        B.  PDF viewers for Mosaic on Ultrix (4.1-4.3), Linux, AND all
            versions of Windows (3.0 to 9? and NT) AND OS/2, for modest fees.
        C.  Source Code in portable C or C++ with compiler flags for the various
            flavors of UNIX, and OS/2 (windows is optional) under GPL?
AND:
        D.  A SGML -> PDF generator that can work on VMS, OSF, or Unix
            and produce 3000 pages (charts, tables, fonts...)/day.  This is
            urgent, 3 NTs chugging away is producing about 300/week.
        D.  A GPL implementation of Secure Sockets or an equivalent.
        E.  GPL source to RSA encryption (C, C++, Perl).
        F.  Licensing rates for all of the above in quantity 1, 10, 100,
            1000, 10,000 and 100,000 (in case we have to license all
            subscribers).
        G.  An "acrobat accelerator" that lets me page through at 10
            pages/minute or faster.
        H.  A "PDF to FAX" converter.
        I.  A "PDF to GIF/JPEG" converter.
        J.  A "PDF Validator" (Am I sending out garbage or is my link 
fuzzy)?
        K.  Support by an engineer familiar with the source code 24/7?
            (8-5 in SF, NY, London, Australia, NewZealand, Japan, and 
India).

Unfortunately, I won't be able to view it.
