You can read that with openoffice, albeit OO 2.0 is a large download. You can visit www.ubuntu.com to request free live and install CD's which contain openoffice distributed with ubuntu linux. They will ship to you free of any charge. Get 50 and hand them out to your friends. If you are on a linux machine at present, you can decode pdf's with xpdf for viewing under X11, or pdftohtml to translate to html suitable for viewing at a shell. Proprietary formats have no place in the IETF. The internet belongs to everyone, not Microsoft.
