Chris. I can download pdf reader on my desktop and read the stuff - it doesn't work on my laptop. Although Acrobat is free it comes at a hardware cost - plain text on the other hand, assuming the document can be rendered in text (some diagrams are VERY difficult to explain) is free and works on existing hardware without a problem. (This point is why I am forwarding the answer to a private question back to the list) Chris Hasser wrote that he could create a plain text version of his pdf document if it was needed, and that he knew a blind person working for Adobe who had no problems with pdf. Thoughts anybody? Charles McCathieNevile Sunrise Research Laboratory RMIT University My thoughts, questions etc are my own, and at my work we argue about this stuff every so often...
