    I dislike access to whatever document to be tightened to a browser. And Adobe Reader -- amongst alternatives -- works just fine here, even if in its lite version. My computer is a PC and it will never be a workstation otherwise than workstation as opposed to server. Moreover, there may be confidential information in data, and I hate confidential data flying over the seven skies of the Web, otherwise than strongly encrypted. So no to Nodobe, but thanks for mentioning.
  • Looks like the conversion is done on Vuzit's server and a username/logon is required. A nice idea but I think I'll pass.

    I should try this. (Although the logo is ugly.)

    Thanks, Mitch!
