When you create a .PDF, you need to have proper settings to make it good
enough quality.
When DEC first started to create .PDFs, the docset had proper bookmarks
which made the documents quite usable. Locate the routine name in the
list fo bookmarks and click on it, and voila you got it doc.
Then, something changed and they stopped producing bookmarks and you had
one long flowing document without any PDF "table of contents"
(bookmarks). And you had to use "search" feature which is nowhere near
as good.
Same thing wih how images are compressed or have their resolution
redused to 72dpi (which means that the image stops looking good the
minute you zom in, or your screen has greater than 72dpi resolution.
