Podcasting PDF's

I was reminded of a new/old technology today when attending the Podcasting Academy V at Duke University.

Many people don't realize that different types of files can be used for "podcasting" - audio and video files are the most common, but there are a growing number of sites that offer subscriptions to PDF files. The PDF's can take the form of a traditional newsletter or magazine or might include multimedia elements. Apple's iTunes can subscribe to PDF RSS feeds and Adobe Acrobat 8 can be used to subscribe as well.

This blog post at Make magazine includes sample subscription PDF's that are used for museum tours, language instruction and many other types of serial publication.
