Well, if the choise is between reading/seeing a non-original version or not being able to read/see anything, i'll take the modified version any day.

Just as a test, 10 minutes ago I downloaded a simple 2-page PostScript file to a webserver and tried to take a look at it in both Windows and Linux. Both failed, which was unexpected since I was counting on Linux supporting pretty much anything. With server conversion to say, pdf, I could have at least took a look at it.
