Hello,

Is there a print version for topics? For example, in a topic with 2 or 3 pages, is there a way to get a full printing version of it, so I can get a copy in papper or pdf?

Thank you,

Francisco

Hi Francisco. I dont know if you can .. and dont think so either.

If there is a thread or page that Im interested in, I use the "save as" in the "file" drop down list, on your browser. I save each page in this format;
Web Archive, single file (*.mht)
Just save as any .jpeg would saved. You can open the page as saved when you want and it will be the same (*) as the day you saved it ... even if the images are removed from the original.
* sometimes background details or colour can be different, if the code is included in the source file, but this doesn´t affect the images of text or layout. On the downside, you save all the ads as well. But its a quick and simple method.

I also saved some topics, but I used the pdf-format.
The result looks a bit different to the original page, but this is no problem.

The reason for this is, some webpages (including them here) uses "frames". This means, the visible parts of the page are divided into blocks or parts, which wouldn´t fit exactly on an DIN-A4-page, when print (on a printer) or "print" into a pdf-file

I save only my own build-logs and know about images and the texts.


greetings...
