Excuse me, (and not really an appropriate question for this list) but the point
with a .pdf file is that it can not be converted anyhow, maybe to .ps, but not
to .html, or am I mistaken here? Using .pdf gives you a guarantee that the
lay-out will not be changed, and that the document will always be shown using
the font you have chosen, even if that font is not available on the computer
that the document is viewed/printed on. Converting this to html means that the
lay-out can be easily changed, every browser will display it different (that's
the whole point of html).

best,
