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.

Re: [Elecraft] re: printing new manual
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. 73, Ken K3IU [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a possibility of printing onto small format (A5 in the Eu) double sided from the same pdf file?

Re: [Elecraft] re: printing new manual
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?
