Rasmus, My apologies. I did not mean to imply that you did not know what you are doing. Adobe's marketing implies that they have the best compression available. I stand corrected. Thanks for your help and best regards, --Reza At 10:56 PM 9/10/2001 -0700, Rasmus Lerdorf wrote:
I cannot read the PDF documentation. Most web sites don't zip the PDF files. PDF has built in compression and zipping a compressed file does not make it smaller and might make it bigger. Besides, for almost all operating systems, the acrobat reader plugin works directly with the browser. If you have a good reason to keep the zip files, please also provide the PDF files directly. Shift-click on the zip file and download it. unzip it and load up the pdf directly. And no, our pdf files compress a lot. We're not stupid, we wouldn't compress them if they didn't. -Rasmus
