Larry,
I'm sorry if I offended you. That was not my intention. I you, Paul,

Obviously, you're not. In fact you're become a bit of a troll.

Paul,
Your points are well taken.
I took a pretty close look at JavaHelp. If you are a fan of HTML help

to encode text. PDF files on the other hand have a lot of overhead.
If we look at this one page PDF it takes up 164KB where as a HTML
document with image would
PDF is just a non-standard way to do help. All you have is some
text. You should just pop up a window with a text component and
display it. Don't make me open another (non-free) application to view
your help.

Ha! It is never good when the only reply comes from someone who
doesn't like the work. :]
Did you have a problem with the font/colors/layout, or do you dislike
it because it is a PDF?
Thanks for the clarification.
