Portable Document Format (PDF) is the defacto file format for presenting device-independent documents on and off the Web. While PDFs have become quite popular on the Web, many PDFs used in web sites are designed for high quality print output and are not optimized for the Web.

When you sign up for it, you go to their website to download a 8-page manual to use all the features of your phone. How much does Primus save every year by not having to professional publish this simple manual?
