Sorry for the lag time guys, the past couple of days have been tough due to family
emergency and a couple of d**n squirrels in the eaves.
Robert,
When a web page is written, the address that links to the picture is written very specifically,
similar to your hard drive's folder structure like "C:\My Documents\My Pictures\funny.jpg"
except in web address form where the forward slash is used (/). When you save a web page
to your computer, those links are dynamically changed to reflect the new location. If you
rename a subfolder that contains the pictures, the webpage cannot find them. What you
must end up doing to fix the situation is to rename the subfolder back to the correct name.
To verify the folder name, open the web page in question and click on View (On the Menu bar
at the top of the page of Internet Explorer) and then click Source. this will show you the HTML
code for the web page. Look for something like this (taken from my personal web page):
Code: Select all
<A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/bergermeister1st/Engineering/ssdcalc.JPG" target="_blank" NAME="thumbssdcalc.jpg" >
<IMG SRC="http://www.geocities.com/bergermeister1st/Engineering/thumbssdcalc.jpg"
HEIGHT="70" WIDTH="100" ALT="SSSD Calculator screenshot" BORDER="0" HSPACE="3" VSPACE="3" ></A>
The important thing here is the IMG tag stating the SRC. Here, it is: ...geocities.com/bergermeister1st/Engineering/...
When saved to the desktop as a HTML file I get:
Code: Select all
<A href="http://www.geocities.com/bergermeister1st/Engineering/ssdcalc.JPG" target=_blank name=thumbssdcalc.jpg>
<IMG height=70 alt="SSSD Calculator screenshot" hspace=3
src="Ceasar%20Software_files/thumbssdcalc.jpg" width=100 vspace=3 border=0></A>
In this case the SRC (src in the above code) is "Ceasar%20Software_files/..." where Ceasar%20Software_files
is the name of the folder containing the pictures for the main webpage. If you change the folder name in any
way you will "break" all the links to that folder. That is why you lost the pictures in the pages that you renamed
the associated folders.
As for the printing woes, most web pages nowadays have no correlation to the printed page, hence parts are
cut off and are broken up into strange page breaks. What you can do is go into the printer setup (for the
PDF995 printer) and select a larger page size. If it is not easily found, you might try (once the print dialog box
comes up): Preferences->Advanced->Paper Size. Check the pull down menu for a size that you think might
work. Keep trying till you find one that works. The beauty of a PDF is that you can keep rewriting until it comes
out to your liking.
Links are allowed within PDF's and they should be carried over. I'm not sure if the newest version does this or
not. I guess I'll have to dig in a bit deeper to find out. Until then, I can't say one way or the other.
Bob,
There are 2 main components to the PDF995 printer: a Postscript converter and the driver that takes the
Postscript conversion and writes the PDF file. The old site was very informative in that regard, I'm not sure
what it says now, as I haven't had to go back over the info there. As for why it is separate, you'd have to
ask the folks over at Software995 that one.
