Ted - can't you PDF Pistonslap? I would make it easier for everyone to read.

I don't have a PDF writer, but ErnestM has done the business PistonSlap

(btw what's the problem with the GIF format? Is it too small/big or what?)

Well that PDF is harder to read than the gif... for me anyway.

Reduce it to 100% makes it a bit easier. If Domster wants to forward it to me for every issue I will be happy to convert at higher resolution. PDF writer does wonders when creating from MS-Word...

Was going to offer the same thing as Ernest.

Offer stands if he is busy or something

Cheers, Phil

I can forward MS Word docs for future issues... Ted's pooter doesn't like MS files. However, the Tedster edits the copy and leaves out the bits he doesn't laugh at or which will get him into trouble so I would have to get him to edit the text first, then I will edit my MS Word doc and forward the approved version on...

Cheers
Dom

Maybe you should check out www.pdf995.com.
It's a bit more reasonably priced (ie free for some uses) than the full version of Adobe. I've not read the licence restrictions in detail but for some small scale personal stuff it works very well.
As a general point I'd vote for things like this in a PDF rather than a GIF too - bit easier to read and print.

I did have a PDF writer that acted like a printer driver, but I seem to have uninstalled it.

I'll take a look at PDF995...

Cheers Dom. You and Ted handle the creative end and I'll be the manufacturing arm, innit?
