I haven't worked with HTML, so I don't know if there is a workaround, but one problem I have with downloading Web pages is that I usually lose the graphics, which actually are separate files. A big advantage of Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format is that everything is in one file. Other advantages: it is multi-platform, it preserves the layout created by the author, and it can either be viewed on the monitor or printed on your printer. The only nuisance, in my opinion, is in downloading and installing the Acrobat Reader on your computer, but you need to do this only once, and since many software manufacturers are releasing documentation in Acrobat format, you might as well have it on your system. At my company we are converting all our user documents to Acrobat format both to save printing costs and for free download from our Web site.

Bergeron; paddlewise Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] (not) downloading plug I've never had to register or receive followup mail for copies of Adobe Acrobat -- seems like it's on just about every free CD that comes in the mail or with a magazine. But I agree completely that it's a bloody nuisance, and I wish people would just use HTML for widely distributed documents. I guess the only advantage I see to publishing stuff with AA is that it makes it difficult for most people out there to alter your document.
