Someone asked:
Why PDF for online help?
Online help is anything that helps the user. It might
be text on the home page, directional content in the
form of a button or animated gif, or a PDF file.
If you call it ONLINE HELP, they don't click on it
(studies show). However, if you don't name it, and
simply make it available, like a flash tour, or a pdf
file, the automatic conditioned negative response is
bypassed and the next neuron plugs in.
