either -- Micorsoft reader converts every thing to htm anyway -I am undecided if
PDF or Reader is the way to go.  My goal is put soemthing out that can be
downloaded to a PDA.

I'm surprised as this , since he can embedd the fonts in pdf - unless he doesn't
have rights to embedd the fonts.  I guess that is the question , how does
Baburin do it - his files convert very nicely to a PDA.
