o The customer gets what they need a lot faster
You've obviously not visited some of the web pages I've been forced to
endure in order to get information. ;{>}
o The customer can link to other useful applications or functions
(not provided by Acrobat) without increasing overhead.
I've not tried this (yet) but Adobe has an Acrobat Plug-in which links to
URL's on the web, so this capability may already be here.
Besides, I'm wondering what the effects of Internet-related OpenDoc parts
may have on all this (Cyberdog is one example of this). It could easily
end up that the choices will not be "either/or" for a given document, but
rather "both/and."
Have fun,
Arlen
