In trying to develop my own set of Hack rules, I keep finding my eye drawn to your layout. Being someone exposed mostly to Word and it's suite of programs, I was wondering what you use to create your layout? I am guessing it is a full version of Adobe, but if it is not...
And, do you use a second party program to convert it to PDF.
I use Adobe Illustrator, mostly because that's what I'm most comfortable with. It has PDF-optimizing tools built in, which I'm only now managing to come to grips with (and still have a lot to learn!).
