I converted to PFD and gained... 100 pages?!

Wow. Isn't that great? Most people have PFD conversion horror stories, and yet my script was doubled. Can you say AWESOME?
Of course, I'll tell people that I only got to 100. I don't know how to small-en-size the darned thing, though.

Cool! Good for you?

What's PFD? ;-) Maybe it's because you used a Personal Flotation Device instead of a PDF. PFDs do inflate to keep your head above water, after all. Well, some of them do. (sorry, couldn't resist)

Seriously though, perhaps it the font that you used in your original document was smaller than the one the PDF conversion used. Or maybe you accidentally copied parts twice?

Whatever the reason for the large word count, congratulations on winning.

PDF's a type of file, though I have to admit, your theory on the matter is ten times cooler than boring computer files.
I think it was the font. That does make sense.

ACK!
I've made multiple typos. What I meant was PDF. PDF, not PFD. Ha. Sorry. Screnzy's gone to my head. xD

Yep, I knew you meant PDF, but it was such a fun typo, I couldn't resist responding to it.

Thank goodness Screnzy is over. We can relax for a few days, and then start on the second draft!
