## Cross Platform Hints and Issues

One thing that exposure has taught me is DTP is one of those areas where cross-platform issues come into play more than most types of applications. PDF does help, but sooner or later, something will pop-up.

Have a look through the Web Links for cross-platform tools and downloads. Of interest to PC users will be tools to open Mac archives aka Stuff-it files.
