Oh, yes you are right , with a 21 inches CRT, and 2048x1536 these PDF documents are readable. Have you tried it with 15 inches and 800x600 And i fully agree regarding the printing , 147 pages to be printed, again and again, when updates are coming up (so many paper ...:( ) Remember ======that is an extract from an old Mail on that topic===== The problem with pdf on screen is that the page layout is FIXED like it is on paper. That is why it prints more consistantly , that page layout is cast in stone. If you have a smaller screen or need larger text you have to scroll _horezontally_ to read the document. To all intents and purposes it becomes unreadable. Under the same conditions html reformats to fit. =========================================================== I will try the Stuart Buchanan answer Regards -- Gérard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
