>This newsletter is unreadable on machines that use something>else instead of Acrobat Reader.How about: "It's unreadable on _your_ machine, with _your_ PDF reader."?>From an open source project i expect PDF files that are>readable with open source PDF readers.You're making an assumption.It's readable under the open source GSView32 (Ghostscript) - I know, I tested it. And it's readable under Acrobat, by Adobe, who defines the PDF standard.Maybe you should try a better open source reader? Also, Acrobat is free.Jon

> Maybe you should try a better open source reader? Also, Acrobat is free.I second that. Works perfectly here under Linux, with: kpdf, xpdf, acrobat reader, and gs (ghostscript). Only outdated versions of pdftotxt and pdftohtml didn't work. I wouldn't blame the Newsletter for that, though.

I didn't have any problems opening/reading the newsletter either, and yes I am using Linux/opensource tools (kpdf,gsview etc.)
