Re: A page of links to PDF files

Ed,

Like Brian, I prefer not to use PDF files but I have found them to be
necessary for me at times. They are the only way that I can get a 400
page publication up in the 15 to 30 minutes that I have to post them. I
usually break the large publications into sections as you described. I
do not use the PDF icon and include this paragraph at the top of the
TOC page with links to Adobe.

The documents below require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view. You may
download a free version at
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html. Adobe also provides
an online form you may use to convert these documents to HTML at
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_simple_form.html.

The words "Adobe Acrobat Reader" and "online form" are links to the
Adobe site.

While I don't think this is perfect, it is the best that I can do at
times. I would be interested in any other suggestions that others on the
list have.
