Yep.  Reading PDF (Acrobat) files requires a rather large application on
the Mac (Acrobat Reader itself is over 800K, and the whole thing takes up
about 2.5MB once you include the add-on files and documentation).

That is rather a lot of code to port to the IIgs, and the end product
would have to deal with the rather limited screen resolution of the IIgs.

Now there's an idea - a PDF viewer which can use the extra resolution of
the Second Sight.  (User interface would be a problem, until the QuickDraw
patches are available.)
