Joseph, When I don't click that link it's because I'm not interested at the moment or too busy. Some of the things I get I read in intermittent fashion. If I had to wait for an HTML page to load I might just sign off altogether. That's happened. Mostly, I think it's nice to offer people a choice

Hi Jac, As far as I know, you need to get you Distiller working, because Illustrator's PDF files are always huge (I think Illustrator treats it all like a giant graphic). I convert a lot of meeting minutes into PDFs at work, and usually the size is the same (if not smaller) than the Word

Jac, I have no idea about the PDF is better than HTML for emails concept :-) Does not make a lot of sense to me - you don't need any special programs to read HTML emails (and if they are done well, the text will still come through even when HTML is disabled), but with PDF email the recepient will

Hey, Jac, I was doing something similar a while back and don't remember the specific on the tricky Distiller issue, but I think I found the answer in the Read Me file for Acrobat 5. It's a common problem but an easy fix as I recall. Best, Mike Michael M Milligan Web Developer (818) 909-9209

Hi everyone, I have a client who wants to send out a newsletter by email to his mailing list, no problem there now this is where it gets strange - he spoke to a guy who does marketing and he told my client that because a lot of people don't want HTML emails, the better option is to do a PDF

I do not prefer PDF to anything more readable. If Acrobat Reader can't find the specified font, it provides the least readable alternative. I often have to resize to fit my full desktop and/or do a lot of scrolling which people hate. Maybe whoever told you that their people would prefer a pdf
