I don't think so in this case. at least not for a document delivery application, which is what PDFs should be used for. Ubiquity is the issue and pdf has it. Years ago I started working with an insurance company that needed to get documents out to its customers via the web, by the thousands every day. In 1998 this was a challenge, but mostly because the ubiquity issue wasn't solved. Those days are long gone (and I would say if you don't have Acrobat Reader on your system you must be just about the last guy not to do so). Nobody complains and nobody cares that the Acrobat Reader opens up when they click on the link. If they did, I'd be the guy fielding the phone calls. Now, if I built a web site where I had a home page and all links opened up pdf's, thats different. But thats the designer and not the tool. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:203268 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
