I take your point, but this is very much a chicken-and-egg
problem. Adobe's
monopoly didn't appear overnight. Acrobat became popular as more
people used
it to distribute documents. Perhaps the same trick would work for
ODF.
You are, of course, completely correct. The same trick *might* work
for ODF, that's surely true. At least in my situation (and I'm sure
most business user situations) PDF is required, not optional. That's
the only issue I have. So, possibly, start distributing ODF when you
*can*, and for all other times PDF. Try to convert the people who use
PDF right now to ODF, kind of a grass-roots movement of sorts.
We have gpdf, but I don't know how "good" it is, and ISTR something
called evince
(sp?) is the way forward in that arena...
Yeah, I looked up evince, it looks pretty nifty if it actually works
well. That might be a good stop-gap solution.
