Acrobat isn't the fastest thing on the planet for me, when I'm downloading the
files and viewing them in my browser. When I have a locally saved .PDF, its
wonderful.
If Mac and Linux have their own format akin to MS Help, and we wanted to go that
route, we would have to format them for all. So no, lets go with a format
that's truly portable and not OS-specific in the least.

The default for creating an LDraw.org tutorial should be for the web, to
LDraw.org page creation standards (to be documented). Secondarily, it can be
exported into other formats - first and foremost PDF, and secondarily, anything
anyone wants to take upon themselves to format it in.
If you want to take the HTML and format it into MS Help we can stick it on the
site. But, I believe (and the vast majority of others believe as well) PDF is
the best format to focus an effort on converting the tutorials to.
