Re: Re: [Elecraft] re: printing new manual

Is there a possibility of printing onto small format (A5 in the Eu) double 
sided from the same pdf file?  This saves a lot of paper and weight.  This is 
booklet printing and not easy from home.  Additionally, would a shortened 
version giving only operational requirements be much of a saving? I'm thinking 
of omitting assembly stuff for instance.

 I recently had OfficeMax print 15 copies of a 100-page document from  
 a PDF file I supplied on a CD-ROM. They printed double-sided, in  
 black and white, and the total cost per copy was less than $10 each.

Hi David:
Adobe Reader (Don't know about other PDF readers) has a print scaling 
option to Fit to Printable Area which is determined by whatever size 
paper you have selected.  So I guess the answer to your question is 
yes, it is possible.

The assembly manual is not part of the operating manual, its a separate
manual. If you mean omitting the Theory Of Operation, then just don't print
all the pages?

Sorry, buy why print it and kill trees? Why not just read in PDF and have
all that search capability too?
