New, PDF generation

Printer-friendly version

Author: 

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Bob has added a new capability to BC. Near the bottom of each story, in the mass of links down there, you should find one labelled, |PDF Version|

This will produce a PDF file saved on your hard drive of most of the stories on BC. Some stories with poor or wrong HTML will not be properly converted, but if you need a PDF version for some reason, this may be handy.

Thanks, Bob.

Hugs,
Erin

Oh that is cool! I thought for a moment that I was just losing my marbles, having never noticed that before ;-)

Great feature

It works really well.

Well done Bob, and thank you all for the hard work that you do to make this site so rich in features.

Incidentally, does anyone know how to password protect a pdf file?

Yes

You need to use Adobe Acrobat or one of a few other programs to create or edit the file.

may I ask...

...what is the benefit of a pdf file and why would I use one? I dumped Adobe a while back, got tired of the constant nags for updates and now use Foxit reader, though I think to edit you need to pay. I'm sure there are others, but....

People ask for these things

So, I try to provide them. :)
