You are correct, a pdf file is OS independent and there are many
readers for it. But the issue is whether the web designers designed
the site for IE only rather than for any browser. Some even to this
day refuse to write standards compliant web pages that render
correctly when viewed using any OS or browser. I know stupid but
they would rather irritate users/potential customers than do things
correctly.<br>
<br>
Also, could Equifax be using Javascript for some silly reason to
control the download?<br>
<br>
Personally, I design my pages using Opera, Firefox, and Chrome
simultaneously in Linux to check layout/behavior issues. Then I test
in IE for any rendering problems.<br>
<br>
I saw a post that on the LO user list that the pdf format is now an
open/ISO format since 2008. <br>
