        This is the default I have in FF3 and I absolutely _hate_ it. As in my
previous post, there is NO way to navigate to a pre-existing file (say:
output_dallas_001.pdf) and select the file and load the filename into the save
to pdf filename box so you can simply change 001 to 002. See:

        If you were on FF3, I would beg for the magic you used to get the 
drop-down
combo box back! That way you _could_ select kprinter and use its print to pdf
function and as a bonus, your pdf's from FF would be about 50% smaller than the
ones FF3 creates.

        If you do find a way to get the drop-down combo box to work in FF3, 
pass it
along -- Please!
