Hi Jim

I agree that HTML has its advantage in many cases. And yes, if you don't embed the fonts and you use a not standard font, the PDF will not match the original exactly. :-)


>Actually that's partially true if the fonts used are Adobe standard fonts or the fonts are available on all machines or the fonts are embedded.

>>Pardon me also for jumping in. A PDF file will always show up exactly equal on all computers, even under Unix and MAC. A HTML-file will look differently, depending on screen resolution, font size, page height and width of the window and so on. If you for instance make the screen smaller, the HTML-file will change, not the PDF-file.
