Ah, well, alas I am one of those folks. My moan about
pdf is that it's
not portable. At least not to any of the 200 or so computers I own (well,
unless thrre is suddenly a pdf view for the PERQ, which is the machine I
most use with a bitmapped display). Before you tell be there's a version
that would run on this PC, I will point out that this machine has a
text-only MDA display.
PDF is a well-documented standard, with many different open-source
readers. There's nothing to stop you porting one to the Perq. In terms
of the time and effort it would take to do so, I'd say you'd be better
off picking up a PC capable of running some sort of PDF viewer on
modernish hardware.
