What's wrong with viewing HTML documents off-line (and printing > them)? As you and others pointed out, HTML too often is not readable in some environments. Printing it can be even worse, especially when it's full of too much unnecessary "decoration." (Hint: CSS can help the printing problem, but can't cure it.) PDF is not immune to bugs, but it seems to get bit far less often. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau
