PDF is an Adobe format that aims to integrate desktop publishing
with screen documents of various formats. Users of the publishing
tools have, I believe, the option of publishing in HTML format, but
few bother to do so.
The reader is Adobe Acrobat, available from adobe.com -- there are
still versions for Win3.1x and DOS, though the latter is considered
not worth bothering with. Windows versions are probably 5MB at
least.
On the mailing list a month or so ago there was the tip of mailing
the URL of the PDF in the message body to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've tried this with a small document, and would be interested to
hear how you get on with much bigger ones. You'll just get the
bare bones text of the document. I've not tried it with a PDF with
graphics.
