What way do you recommend to send people links to PDF guides?

Good question - For most purposes, a link to the URL where the PDF is hosted is good enough. In cases where the guide is changing often though, and it's important that the person have the most up-to-date version of the PDF, you should use the link that forces our system to generate a new version of the PDF (when needed), like this: http://www.ifixit.com/GuidePDF/link/176/... Note: This second link will force our system to generate a new PDF if necessary, and then forward you on to the first link.
