UK Technical Author: PDF files
If the main purpose is for good quality printing, then PDF is
a good choice.
However! If the main purpose is for on-screen Help, you need to note these
points about PDF:
-
Limited but workable search facilities. It is not as quick or
easy as HTML Help for finding information.
-
Requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is available free from the Adobe web site. However, not all users have it installed by
default on their PCs. This means someone has to install it. In organisations where the
IT department controls what goes onto a PC, they may have to authorise
its installation, although this shouldn't be a problem.
