The Catholic Diocese of Arlington, Virginia, offered a list of thoughtful Earth Day resources, but opted for print-based PDF files. Yet at best, PDFs are okay for providing forms and such that are designed exclusively for printing. Other than for that purpose, “PDFs are evil” and “unfit for human consumption” say the usability experts.
Now I understand that the diocese was repurposing material a local parish developed the year before and was looking for an easy way (for the developers, that is) to quickly post the information. But when promoting conservation, why choose a document format that encourages unnecessary printing to read instead of regular HTML and embedded links?

man where do you find this stuff. lol…Thats great…
I personally like adobe flash paper instead
Someone shared that link with me, but they didn’t see the irony.
I haven’t looked into FlashPaper until, but it looks like some churches are starting to use it.

Will have to investigate some more.
it is great flash based program. and prints also. I use it for all the files on http://www.cecworship.com in the resources section
Interesting. My first thought was wondering how Google would index a page with FlashPaper so I did this search:

Looks like Google is picking up your text successfully.
yeah that works for sure. It is a great program…and not much too it…it basically adds itself as a printer in your computer and you can print to it from any program.
