Very poor publicity for this important publication. What a sad waste.

Since report is only available by download you would think those responsible for its design would take the reproduction needs into account. No such luck. The tables are replete with grey halftones which reproduce very poorly. Printing in black and white on a laser printer is an eyestrain. Recopying that on a copier makes it virtually unreadable. It seems the authors/producers of these "publications" are so mesmerized by the cute graphics and color schemes that they could care less about practical issues like readability. So sorely disappointed I can't even critique the content.

The overall summary does give much useful information, and buried in it are helpful charts (though too dark - why not use color or greyscale rather than black?). I'd like a simple reference with the diagnostic and stepwise treatment charts available without having to download a >4 MB size PDF and search through it all to find them.

Trying to put both sets of guidelines (Long & Short Versions) together to help me study for the AE-C exam. Thanks.

If you print this document, the pages with colored background show up as black and are unreadable.

The black boxes on figure 21 are very difficult to read. Could they be retyped?

The figures have a dark background and very light prints on the pdf format.
