RE: RE: Nielsen frags PDF with misinformative Alertbox... AGAIN!

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

The majority of PDFs I create are usually intended for 
use by internal field service folk who are viewing them 
on laptops or on the screens of the instruments they're 
servicing.  The most common screen setting encountered
is 1024 x 768 (BTW, this is also the most commonly used 
setting in consumer systems with 17" monitors).  I test
my PDFs at an 800 x 600 setting, because there are still
some older units in service with 15" monitors (built-in
and not upgradable).

If it isn't legible, you must have a pc with very low
screen resolution. Again, this is a case of knowing
your audience; I personally don't know anyone who
operates their pc at less than 1280 by 800, most
developers (who I write docs for) seem to use
1600 by 1200 or so.
