No, I meant can post - if you own the original copyright (and most content providers do, or have sufficient license to use it for publishing) then you can post a different format. cheers Charles On Sun, 23 Dec 2001, David Woolley wrote: > > This is a good point.

Did you mean can't post, rather than can post? This is a feature of PDF that may well make content providers reluctant to provide alternative forms with lesser technical imposition of IPR constraints. (PDF, in general, has a lot of features aimed at commercial users. The only real IPR support in browsers at the moment is that which requires downloadable fonts to be tied to a site - one reason why downloadable fonts aren't much used.) -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
