Does anyone have any experience/opinions/knowledge about the 
effectiveness of converting or printing the targets in S3Print to PDF 
and having someone print those up for remote profiling?

I want to profile my mom's printer, but getting her to print a TIF 
target properly or download and install S3Print as a demo is more than 
a bit challenging.

If I print to a PDF and have her print the PDF using Acrobat Reader 
will that be effective?

I'm not sure what color management Acrobat attempts to perform at print 
time, if any at all...

That's a fair assertion.  Was just hoping there was some way I could 
avoid spending the 20 mins extra walking through the printer driver 
over the phone...

Thanks.
