Re: PDF and Web Sites: why is Adobe not using pdf?
Your presentation appeared to me well-done, and I would also like to see more pdf-sites, but I am always bothered by the fact that Adobe itself does not use pdf for web presentation purposes. Its home pages (at least the part I checked today) still appear to be entirely in html.
Question 1: If html is so bad, as your presentation suggests, and pdf is so good, why is the Adobe site still in html?
Also each of your sets of slides appeared to take up a lot of bandwidth (200K) for the information conveyed. This is probably because you needed to use form fields, which seem to be expensive in bandwidth, to get the dynamic effects.
Question 2: Would dhtml not present the information more efficiently and just as aesthetically? Alternatively, why are form fields so bandwidth intensive?
