PDF = pretty darn fine

Jul 28, 2003

I recently updated my personal portal page, at anton.zuiker.com. You can find my journalism clips there – most stories are displayed on the web page, and a PDF of the original article is available from a link on the bottom of the page. Web usability guru Jakob Nielsen sent out this about PDFs on web pages: Gateway Pages Prevent PDF Shock (Alertbox). I’ve come to like PDFs, and I’m in the library computer lab a few times a week to print out PDF files – sometimes entire magazines such as The New Republic. If you want to make a PDF of a document (resumes are good as PDFs, because many employers won’t open a resume in Word document format as an e-mail attachment), visit 2convert.com for a free conversion utility.
