Sorry, I should be shot for not including that info, I know better. Adobe Acrobat 5.0 on Win98 I guess it might be worth trying to do it with an up to date reader. When I load the doc I get the bad char boxes in front of the table of content list items. I tried printing with Netscape 6.2-- latest, and just got the first page out. I am sure it is something in the style sheet, but what? :)
For Acrobat Reader: Using 5.0 on WinXP I get no problems in the TOC, but I had seen these problems earlier on some other box. Annoying. Furthermore, I have the same problems as you for printing. It prints one page then stops. I had been trying with Acrobat 4, which printed without problem.
About Netscape: We haven't tested with that, stupid us :( Recent Mozilla versiosn haven't had any trouble with the layout, but we haven't really tested printing.

He loves pretty picutures so I am trying to get those as well. Something must be going on with perl.com at the moment, the site seems really slow, and I just got a 500 on the print this link. Maybe a database timeout? Anyway, I guess I will take a break and come back later.
Same problems with perl.com here.
About the pictures: they arne't in the PDF anyway, it's only in the online version (atleast that's how it appears here). Sorry about that.

Ahh, I have not gotten up to IE 6 yet, 5.5 still. Win 98 SE The perl.com pages look fine in IE 5.5.
Yes, but what about the rest of the http://perl.apache.org/release/ site?
