There has been debate as to whether we should use the PDF format for information accessible through posts on the site. PDFs have the advantage that we do not need to copy and reformat the information into posts and for some contributors such as Parish Councils it ensures official information remains in the format they agreed. Also use of PDFs means the information can be printed out by the reader in the form intended regardless of the web browser they use.
Most computers now are supplied with PDF reader software already loaded, alternatively relevant software can be downloaded for free from Adobe (click here to download Adobe Reader). However some people find the need to switch into a different format irritating or even confusing.
What are your thoughts?


Well, it looks like our use of pdfs on the Blog is not causing any problems with over 90% in favour and no one objecting.
