Would appreciate some feedback, especially from those of you who mainly
read PDFs onscreen rather than printing them. Later today I will put the
test PDF on one of my machines with a smaller screen size and see how it
looks to me.

it is a wonderful idea to publish PDF files for onscreen viewing in a
landscape format. I like that format onscreen.
It can be discussed whether one column or two columns are better.
My feedback: Please get rid of the break in the page numbering for all
documents that will be read onscreen. It is frustrating to see that a
page has the number 15 printed in the footer while the Acrobat reader
displays that you are on page 18. You never know which is the "right"
page number that you must enter in the Go To Page Number field of the
reader software. Onscreen documents should always follow plain page
numbers from 1 to the end to avoid ambiguities. Onscreen there is no
need to start page numbering with anything other than number 1 for the
title page.
