Subject:pdf files on laptops From:Annalee Foster <scripta -at- GJ -dot- NET> Date:Mon, 10 Nov 1997 15:07:39 -0700
Hello all,
I have received mail from a few of you indicating that pdf files are
miserable to deal with on a laptop. I need to know specifically why
people think this is so. Stories in support of or against pdf's on
laptops are welcome. Assume, if you will, that a laptop is your only
access to corporate information. What makes a pdf file work/not work.
Thanks. Please respond directly to me (scripta -at- gj -dot- net) and I will
summarize if there is an interest. If this has already been discussed
in detail, I apologize. I tried the archives but couldn't get in.
