Re: Curly '

[Art Hixson]

Like you, I know very little about TeX or making a PDF from it.  The 
right quote is x'92 while the normal quote is x'27.  You won't be able 
to change the PDF itself because the internal coding is really weird and 
there aren't any tools in my version of Acrobat to make a global 
character replacement.   There are some commercial WSIWYG editors, but 
they cost a little money.

I suspect there's a markup in the TeXinfo output that can be edited.  If 
you send me the TeXinfo compilation, I might be able make a hack for it.
