Provide Reader for InfoPath Forms

[NerdBear]

Develop and provide a free reader for InfoPath forms. Many of us have a need
to share form documents among users located throughout the country but some
of those users do not have Office Professional. The InfoPath familiar design
tools for forms are excellent with great flexibility and offer a viable
alternative to Adobe Acrobat which is somewhat lacking in forms management
and creation. If a seperate reader cannot be developed, add Adobe PDF
publishing as an option.

Thanks Agni - Was unaware of server based solution, but real need is for an
end user based reader similar to Acrobat Reader and other readers already
developed by Microsoft for other Office applications. Seems that Microsoft
is unwilling to take on Adobe directly. If that is the case, why not
capitalize on the PDF de-facto standard and add PDF conveter functionality to
InfoPath Forms much the same way as some less known third party providers
have done (ScanSoft PDF Create, Nitro PDF, etc.) .
