Oh, I disagree.

This thread started with Oracle's use of a pdf format quirk which prevents display by the pdf reader which is that included in a standard RedHat install - xpdf. This while Oracle propaganda er, uh, news releases indicates increasing partnership with Linux, & in particular, RedHat Linux.

Add to that the apparent IE-centric OTN forum compatibility, hence this Linux user's frustration trying to bring the pdf problem to Oracle's attention in their own forum.

The irony is stifling...:-)

I s'pose the pdf makers & OTN webcoders will eventually be on board; for now, tho, they look like a Winblows club.
