My copy has just arrived – I think I’ve found a typo on page 18. Section “India”, first sentence it should state “has been in existence” as far as I know, although as you can see from my writing I’m not a native speaker so I may be wrong ;)

Hope I didn’t sound too harsh (I was running low on battery). While I’m also a person which likes to use the right tool for the right purpose (may it be open source or not), I propose that you should make some hints to the designer about the possibility to use free software and maybe he’ll convert soon ;) And it would leave you with complete source for the report which you can actually open…

LOL. Sorry for the redundant question. See what happens when you fall asleep at the keyboard…

Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Can you provide any insight as to why Adobe InDesign was used to produce this rather than one of the FOSS alternatives? Not trying to be argumentative. Just curious.
Again, thank you!

@DeeJay1, we basically contracted a designer to do the job and he used the tools he’s confortable with.

InDesign again? Oh come on! Open Source software is capable of doing more than what you required!
