Acrobat is pretty ubiquitous on PCs. Many software apps, and almost every hardware item, has its docs on CD as PDFs, with a copy of the Acrobat installer on the CD. Quite likely people have it installed without knowing it ... if you send them a PDF file and they click it will probably open. So many documents on the web are PDFs that it's a necessity. Otherwise, almost every word processor can make/export/save as RTF files. If you name them with a .doc suffix, when it arrives on a PC they'll be passed to Word which will open them as if they were native .doc files. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
