Can you feed outsized paper? Do you have an inkjet handy? Print to a long roll IN 10.5 (I don't know about 10.4, and a *lot* of improvements were made to preview in 10.5) I was able to select chunks of the page, copy and paste them into new documents. (Select 'New Document from Clipboard') What you can then do is print them individually. If you want to have a pdf that is savable, turn on the thumbnail view on these documents , and drag the page thumbnail from one document to another. You can assemble one large PDF from a bunch of smaller ones that way. Again, I don't know if this works in the Preview from 10.4. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
