Hello, hope I'm not beating a dead horse here, but...
A professional group is currently setting standards for web-based
document dissemination, and wants to ensure:
*multi-platform
*image integrity
for reports and forms.
My take on this question is that .pdf is the ONLY format that ensures
both, though I understand that others in this group want to support .html
and even MSWord documents.
My question is this: am I right?
Assuming "yes,"
my second question is this: what documentation is available to support my
view?
