iPDF work around?

For example, Try to convert an FAA instrument approach plate in Calibre and view it... will it work? Not so much.

BOb,

Thanks for the explanation...

I work for an airline in the pilot training area...will have to ask my astro-nuts what would they recommend....( considering they are the MOST nontechnical bunch I have met in ages (I got way too many civillian trained pilots and not enough former Naval Aviators...) will report back and see if any of them have a work around..)

I would think if you used www.4shared.com to store the document in question, and then pulled from iPDF, you might get the results you are looking for.....

Don't quote me, but looks good on paper...
