(You can wait a day so that the PDF you're using can't be usefullly used by anyone else). -Paul -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Royal mail using acrobat
Maybe it's some DRM that prevents the file being re-used, and is tied to Acrobat. Just a guess, since we still use the stamps you buy in the post office!

A bit difficult to send the link I think. It seems some one else managed to print postage, so i guess i was being daft. What i got was a pdf that evince could not open. i have to send a letter (snail mail) soon so i'll try again.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Royal mail using acrobat
Using Chrome, the pdf just downloads and I open it and print it using Evince. A website shouldn't be able to define a different action for a file type to the one defined in the browser's settings. s/ On Oct 20, 2012 10:05 PM, "Andres Muniz" wrote: > ** > > Hello, > has anybody noticed that we (linux users) cannot open pdf postage from the > royal mail website?
