Do any of the Gurus on this forum know what the differences in PDF handling on the 505 with the firmware upgrade and the 700 out of the box are? (I'm curious).

All of the features that are supported in the 505 are included in the 700. There where 2 changes in the firmware. One was text reflow the other was to enhance the whitness of the PDF. The PDF with the original FW had a grayish background that made PDFs hard to read.
