Google's PDF-as-text
when the results of a Google search include a PDF, Google offers to display it as plain text. but it comes out as nonsense in Netsurf (r9629): all the lines of text seem to be piled on top of one another. at least in this example: http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:dr7rk6-FAmcJ:www.mendip.gov.uk/Download.asp%3Fpath%3D%252FDocuments%252FRegeneration%252Fcar%2Bparks%252FGlastonbury%2BCarnival%2BRoad%2BClosure%2BOrder%2B2009.pdf+Glastonbury+carnival+trafficcd=2hl=enct=clnkgl=uk; -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk

Michael Bell I'm puzzeled. whent I click on that link I don't get any 'piling' (Netsurf 2.1) and clicking the link at the top of the page (not SHIFT-click) downloads the PDF. But I see with r9640 (26 Aug 2009 11:30) I do get the 'piling' but still do not need to SHIFT-click to get the PDF. -- Erving
