PDFs, PDQ
Many white papers and government documents are published as PDF files. Now Adobe, creator of the Acrobat software that creates. PDFs, has instituted a service to help you find PDF documents on the Web. The site, an http://searchpdf.adbode.com, also offers a fun feature: Select the Surprise Me! option, and the search engine will present you with something random to read. One time, I got the news letter of the Lavonia, Michigan Amateur Radio Club.
