Re: [LegacyUG] .PDF versus .JPG

Sara:

You are not doing anything wrong. 

As I said:
"As to using PDFs as web pages, the display will be somewhat slower then a 
jpeg."

In order to display a PDF file you browser has to first startup Acrobat Reader 
add-in in your browser(Internet Explorer) and then download the file.

I didn't realize that you were referring to the use of PDFs on the web. My 
reply was meant to be more general in the use of PDFs. Sending a copy of a 
Legacy report to a friend as a PDF is a better use. 

I hope that this clears up my thoughts a little.

Dale,

I wouldn't dream of arguing with an expert, but in my experience Web pages that 
are in PDF format usually load more slowly than those in HTML.  There must be 
something that I don't know, but all I know to do is to click on a link as I do 
with any Web page or enter the URL.  I do a lot of Googling in my research and 
often avoid a site if PDF is my only option, depending upon how interesting it 
looks to me. 

What am I doing wrong?

Sara
