This article is funny. The guy goes to great lengths to get a PDF document. It is easy, just download a copy of OpenOffice.org and export as PDF, (OpenOffice.org is a free Open Source office suite for Windows and Linux and performs and looks much like other office suites including a Word processor, spreadsheet, drawing program and presentation software that is compatible with Microsoft Office file formats).
Speaking of OpenOffice.org, they have just released the 2.0 Beta which we will be reviewing shortly.
