It is made to look good, to look the same on all computers, and to be easy to print. Depending on what you do with Emacs, and what PDFs, there might still be some interactive gain from using Emacs to browse PDFs. For example there might be URLs and you can then use Emacs-w3m to browse or bookmark them. Or if you quote some paragraph from the PDF you can yank it right into your buffer. And a couple of such cases. But I suppose there isn't a huge loss using an external viewer. There are other cases when brining your stuff to Emacs is a much bigger gain. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
