[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3512828, member: 4134"] It really is annoying. I completely agree Yes, it's probably easier for them. But aren't we forgetting something? Namely that the current thing is more complicated for us? Usually the business strategy involves doing more work yourself so the thousands of customers have less work, not being lazy and forcing them all to do that much more work. To whoever puts those online: Just take those extra 3 minutes to copy that text and put it into HTML (ask the guy who does the other previews how he does it) so we can save the time to download, unpack, and open the file. Even if that saved 2 seconds for 100 people, we'd have a net gain. And it would surely save 30+ seconds for 1000+ people. Personally, I would be okay with an unpacked pdf, so I can just click the link and the browser does the opening. But the way it is now, I have to click the download link, specify a download location, open a file manager, unpack the file, and then open it. That usually discourages me from looking at those tables. HTML would still be the best solution. I'd say that few of us care how the TOC's layout is. We are interested in the C of the TOC. [/QUOTE]
