I used to use the text-only Lynx browser for testing (http://lynx.isc.org/). It’s remarkable what a site looks like when you reduce it to the absolute minimum! (I don’t know how much this should be considered a standard test now though.)

Sometimes it’s not just unexpected, but unwanted. Even 3 pages of someone else’s (no doubt carefullly crafted) publicity material may be a lot more than I want to print or read.

Why should I pay for Company X’s printing costs? Did the designers bother checking how their on-screen PDF will come out in monochrome?

And sometimes all I want is web page content. It makes it so much easier to cut-n-paste a couple of details into an email to pass to colleagues.

Meanwhile, back in the land of reality… yes to proper PDF links!

By the way… decent link text is useful. Althought this is out-of-context in the image, I’d wonder if the “course documents” were a description? application? package?
