RE: RE: Nielsen and PDFs

["GeneK" <gene -at- genek -dot- com>]

Well, it's my plan whenever the design of a site is under
my control.  Except that my PDF link is usually titled
something like "download this entire document in PDF 
format," and appears on every page of a multipage HTML
version of the doc in question.  The user has the choice
of clicking through the doc page by page/link by link or 
downloading the whole thing in one gulp to keep and/or
read locally.  I don't use language what might even 
suggest that it would be a good idea to read the PDF 
online.  If I'm converting a print-format doc to HTML
for someone, I want their site to record lots of hits
on its pages...

In other words, you want an HTML version for online Help, and you want the "printer friendly" button to open a PDF version. Sounds like a plan to me.
