OK - the answer is found as follows:

http://otn.oracle.com
>> search button
>> compressed PDF
>> click on link under first document

"Oracle9iDS Daily Feature - Oracle9i Reports - PDF 1.4 Benefits: Daily Archives Library Products Technologies Internet DBA Software Documentation Sample Code Discussion Forums Training... (published 04/25/2002) http://otn.oracle.com/products/ids/daily/apr26.html "
