Topic: Usability Guru: 'Avoid PDF for on-screen reading
Conf: (P-PDF) PDF News Alerts, Msg: 21924
From: kfoss
Date: 6/9/2001 08:27 PM

In his June 10 "Alertbox" column, Internet usability consultant Jakob
Nielsen strongly recommends against the use of PDF for documents
intended for on-screen reading."Forcing users to browse PDF files
decreases usability by around 300 percent (his 'rough estimate')
compared with HTML pages," he writes. In defending his opinion,
however, Nielsen shows a glaring lack of knowledge about the file
format. Share *your* opinions in PDF-Talkback in the Planet PDF Forum.
