Re: [Gimp-user] Tutorial Pointers Page in PDF format (former : Re. Good tutorial in PDF format)
Hi Jeff, John and other guys, Lot of thanks for your continue support. Now I have a collective information I am in a different situation. I have certain knowledge on Adobe PhotoShop, Corel PhotoPaint, KPT filtering, etc. For such a reason I don't expect going through the complete GIMP tutorial, page by page. I only need to download it as a file in smaller size for reference in case encountering difficulty in using GIMP. Anyway thanks again.

Hi Massimiliano, Thanks for your advice. The wget tool sounds similar to "weblicator" in Windows, downloading the complete homepage including all links for offline browsing. Before start please advise : 1) How to check whether the wget tool has been installed ? 2) Where shall the complete homepage be stored, in which folder/directory ? 3) Would it be possible to print the complete homepage download including links in one ' click ' similar to printing a file rather then to print page by page Thanks in advance.

Hi Malcolm, Thanks for your response. Gimp user's manual, second edition, has PDF version of 9.49MB in file size. Grokking the Gimp in HTML, the tarball is 26.8 MB. I have both of them downloaded. But this is not my point looking for a PDF version of the tutorial "Tutorial Pointers Page" in following website http://empyrean.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/~nem/gimp/tuts/ They are web-pages. Then I have to save all of them page by page. It shall take me a lengthy time to complete not including the time to print them to a .pdf file. Anyway I will to take a browse on Internet.

Gimp user's manuals has PDF version. You are right, most manuals in HTML Framed / Ordinary version. PDF version is much smaller in file size than HTML version. But this is not my point looking for a PDF version of the tutorial "Tutorial Pointers Page" in following website http://empyrean.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/~nem/gimp/tuts/ They are web-pages.

[Gimp-user] Tutorial Pointers Page in PDF format (former : Re. Goodtutorial in PDF format)
Hi John, Thanks for your advice. I found following website http://empyrean.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/~nem/gimp/tuts/ from www.gimp.org under the link referred as "Gimp Tutorial Pointers Page". The documents there are quite interesting, but I expect to find those tutorials in PDF format. Sorry for not having clearly mentioned in my last posting.
