Can't you ask your school to distill it to a pdf? I mean I assume that
in China everybody has the Acrobat distiller in some pirated version :)
I just was in Thailand and was shocked with how openly pirated software
was sold and used.
(this is actually one of the big threats to OpenSource: piracy. If
people get proprietary software for free, why bother using open source?)
