Just subscribed. Can't download or print.
Village Press claims copyright etc.


My questions:
1. I can copy pages of the print version for use in the shop. Why
not the digital version?


2. I can download and save and print the digital version of Circuit
Cellar magazine, why not DM?


I found that I CAN capture the screen image and print / save same for
the pages I want which solves my problem for now, but I'd much rather
save a pdf so I can refer to ANY article at will, without having to
link to the publisher's site.


Bit backward, no?


Mark, I just tested this procedure. Using Windows XP. I opened a new
text file in Open Office.


Then used the Fn key plus prt sc key to copy the screen to the clip
board.
Then bring up the Open Office text page and paste to the page. Enter
key to get to the bottom of the image.


Then went to a different screen and did the same capture and paste
procedure. Did with three different screens so there were two pages on
the text page.


Then used the "export to PDF" option to save the text file as a PDF.


Brought up the PDF file using Explorer and there were the screen
captures in the PDF file.


Not as nice as virgin PDF display of the magazine, but pretty readable
at 100% size.


Is it searchable? *Sounds like image files in a doc.


Just images in a file.
