Avoid the GPS service "black hole"
Most fleet owners and managers recognize that knowing the precise location of your vehicles and their daily activities can quickly lead to substantial savings on fuel, overtime, insurance premiums, and other critical operational costs. However, this is only one small part of the picture the part anyone can see, even before they decide to use a GPS tracking system. The rest of the picture emerges only after a system has been installed. Once you experience the financial boost that comes from your initial trimming away of wasteful driving patterns, side trips and fuel usage what comes next? All too often, the vendor that installed the system hasn't bothered to train you and your staff on how to make the most of the information you're getting in the long term - to incorporate it into your everyday processes and routine. They get you up and running, but you never see them again. This is the GPS service "black hole" that exists for most vendors of fleet management "solutions." But the truth about GPS services is that the more you use them, the more valuable and indispensable they become for your daily operation. [Check out this customer success story for just one example of what we mean.] And the responsibility for making sure this is the case shouldn't be all yours.

Don't want to edit your PDF Form in LiveCycle Designer?

i have to admit the first time adobe snuck editing my pdf forms in LiveCycle Designer, rather than Acrobat 8, i was a bit peeved. however, i figured out that i had to do all form editing, whatever in it, and learned it and do not mind it all now. however, sometimes in a pinch, i'd rather use Acrobat 8 to make a new one, as it's just a bit easier to use as far as the user interface goes... anyway, i've figured out an EASY way to kinda hack around that, and create a new PDF form in Acrobat 8 and prevent it from handing off the creation to Adobe's LiveCycle DesignerAcrobat 8 the rule became that if a PDF form was originally done in Acrobat 8, that all future changes to that PDF can be handled in Acrobat 8. However, if it was a new one, you were pushed to Adobe LiveCycle Designer. until i figured this out :) basically you take an existing pdf form that you have edited or created in Acrobat 8. from there, you add the pdf you want to make a form out of to the existing document. then you click the "Pages" button on the left side (in the gutter, looks like a document) and delete the original pdf page(s) and you are left with yours. manipulate the form do whatever you want, save it and you are done! that easy. and you didnt have to leave acrobat!
