Hello World
Does anyone know where I can find statistics about the penetration of PDF format in the Internet, hopefully not from Adobe?

Thanks

As far as I know, everyone has, or can get, Acrobat Reader.

I think it's that comprehensive.

Hi
Yes, obviously it is so very easy to get it, for people who have a "basic" knowledge of Internet browsing, but, still, you must know there are yet lots of people who's "basic" level would probably be inferior, very much, to what one would expect, take a website that points to users in far parts of the third world, for instance, where Internet penetration is not yet even 10%...

And in any case, what I need are statistical results.
Thanks,.......but still looking...

82% people have PDF according to Macromedia (March 2004 NPD survey results):

Hey, thanks for the link!

Now, are these numbers trustworthy? Well, I know the name of the company is there, the ones who do the surveys, but still.

If anyone else knows of other sources for these kind of surveys, I'll be very thankful.

Meanwhile, thanks a lot Stretch!
