Clearly, Jean, those are irrefutable statements. However, I still don't see how a PDF on an OOo CD (or for an OOo user) does anything that a native OOo document does not do at least as well (except, of course, increase Adobe's dominance). Further, the OOo files (and many other standard formats) have the huge advantage of editability (e.g. changing font size then printing for readers with vision impairment) with free tools. Of course, this requires that there is available at least one workstation that can read the OOo installation instructions. For the case where this is not true, the installation instructions (only) could be in PDF (or text/Unicode, or ODF, or even M$ Word .doc) so they could be read (and even edited), again with free tools, before OOo is installed. Did I miss a communication explaining any advantages of PDF? Jim
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12:02 AM 6/22/200722/2007 >>> Many people package and distribute OOo on CD, and many of them include the PDFs of OOo documentation on the CDs with the program. Distributing OOo docs in this way means people can get PDFs of books without large downloads, and those PDFs are not going to be continuously updated (by the CD distributors) with the very latest iteration of the official documentation -- they will be a "snapshot" of docs at a particular time. PDFs of some material (eg tutorials) would be popular with people doing training, for example within a small business that doesn't have the resources to produce their own training materials. --Jean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
