Creating PDF's from the How-to section.
 
I've decided to work on creating pdf's from the Evo How-To forums.. I'm starting with the how-to's that are well structured first...

I'm creating word files first then making pdf's. I'll keep the word files so I can add/change things later on and make new pdf's

Anyone think this is a good idea or am I wasting my time :)

Nice - got some free time on your hands. {pcfreak}

justchil Sep 3, 2004 07:58 AM

Yes :)

Here is what I've done so far:

Once I get them all created I'll probably go through and make them look better.. fix spelling etc.. and make sure I credit whoever wrote them :)

justchil, if you need any help, pm me. I think this a great Idea and would love to help. I don't want to duplicate stuff you may already have created though so if you need the help, holler.

I hate pdfs and I work with them all day long.

Really, tell my why it takes SOOOO long to load or install a VIEWER!

Anyhow, if I need to save them, I simply save the web page... file save ;)

Viewer load time
 
The Adobe Acrobat Reader takes a long time to load on my Mac, but using the application Preview takes less than a second. So I'd recommend trying another viewer.

justchil Sep 3, 2004 09:15 AM

So what viewer do you guys think would be best? So far I've done word / pdf.

I'm actually doing the same thing for a Tuning guide from the posts I've made over the past few weeks...

justchil Sep 3, 2004 09:38 AM

Maybe we should combine everyones effort into something really sweet? :)

Also I'm uploading the word format versions now.

Edit: Actually I'm going to take them all offline for just a little bit.. Going to get everything a little more "uniform" before putting them back online. Should take me 30 mins or so :)

justchil Sep 3, 2004 11:15 AM

Ok I've revised them just a bit to include the author and the post url.. trying to keep formatting somewhat the same :)

I've got like 11 so far .. I just picked out the ones that would require the least amount of effort to format properly :)

This is a really good idea justchil. Thanks for your efforts.
