I'm assuming that you are using www4mail`at`szs.net! First -- don't use getpdf to obtain a PDF document! getpdf converts HTML to PDF. To get the 9 May 2008 issue, request http://www.sajewishreport.co.za/pdf/9-may-2008.pdf www4mail will send you 21 emails, each with a numbered attachment. The attachments are *not* PDF files. You cannot read them, or do anything else with them, separately. Save them all, then join them in the usual way to reconstruct the original, single PDF file. ::: 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.

Using PDF newspapers with accmail
An excellent (freeware, btw) file splitter and joiner is HJSplit. Versions available for all major platforms (and then some); MS-DOS, 16-bit WIndows, 32-bit WIndows, OS/2, Linux, AmigaDOS, Mac, and a Java version that can be run from a browser on any platform that has Java installed. They also have a tiny (44kb) program called HJJoin which you can download and not worry about having to put IT together. HJJoin is for 16-bit and 32-bit Windows only.

(Probably a typo.) 2) Can you send some URL examples of the newspapers you're trying to download from? I really doubt that the newspapers are going to be open to changing their file organization to accommodate Accmailers (tho I could be wrong), but perhaps those of us who have regular TCP/IP connection to the 'net (including browser access) could work out ways to be able to access PDFs from the site(s) you're most interested in getting them from.

USING PDF NEWSPAPERS WITH ACCMAIL
Hi listers I use an ISP and therefore a POP3 but still depend on ACCMAIL. So I was wondering how one can suggest to newspapers which can be downloaded in PDF how to make them more accessible with [EMAIL PROTECTED] As I am still on dial up I do not really download but I will probably still use accmail even if I get Iburst. Not sure if any South African subscribers are aware of Iburst or how much of this technology was developed here. Basically Iburst uses a modem and now a phone that you install and connect and works via satellite signals so one would have to live near enough to a station or tower to get signal and is cheaper than other systems and ADSL and is wireless, no landline or even cellular necessary. So you can also be online all the time. I did not realise that I accidentally gave an incorrect URL for Iburst so apologies to the moderator who asked me to resend my message but I deleted the original one. The corrected address for Iburst is http://www.iburst.com/ and not .co.za/ Ricky -- 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.
