In general, GETPDF results are satisfactory only in the following circumstances ... * The page does not require client-side processing. If page display depends on Javascript or CSS, you may see no result at all. * The page markup (HTML or XHTML) is 100% syntactically correct; parsing may fail on even the smallest error. There is a reason for this. A PDF page dump is a visual image of of the page. To create the image, the parser must do exactly what a web browser does -- examine the markup, display text according to the markup tags, retrieve and insert images at the correct places. Advanced browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox are compiled from code which contains a large proportion of error handling and guesswork -- simply because bad markup is so common. Our www4mail server relies on a relatively simple markup parser. If the markup is bad, the output is bad. Page http://www.fd.ru/rubrika/5/1109.html seems to have numerous syntax errors. I'm not surprised it failed. ::: SZS ::: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.
