Hi Geoff,
I have read PDF files on the iPhone in ibooks. Is that a option? Or
is using the iPhone not a good option for reading this file? I'm pretty sure
you have a iPhone as I believe I remember several helpful and several humorous
posts you have made regarding its use.
Best,
I still find PDF reading on the Mac and on PC challenging.
