O.K., By what definition of OPEN does Adobe consider PDF
(a proprietary, licensed, unpublished standard) an OPEN
protocol like TCP/IP, HTML, and SGML?

Would someone PLEASE provide me a pointer to detailed protocol
specifications and reference implementations in source code?

I have to support about 7 different platforms from origination to
final browser.  I can get implementations for the other OPEN standards 
mentioned above, but NOT for  PDF?

Adobe has twice sent me e-mail claiming that PDF was open, but neither 
time did they provide a reference to the requested documentation.
