Hi Brian,
You do not say which operating system you are using. These comments are based on the assumption that you are using a version of Windows. when I right click on part of a web page (Weather highlighted or not.) I do not get the print option. If I just want to save the text I highlight it, right click on it, select copy and paste it into a text editor. (Or Microsoft word.) If I want text and graphics I highlight the section, right click, copy and paste into Microsoft word. If these methods do not work I use Gadwin Systems "Print screen" This only saves the selected part of the screen as a .bmp picture so it is not as useful but better than nothing.

Brian,

This depends as much on your operating system as the browser you're using (Internet Explorer – eghhh….., Firefox, Chrome?)

Perhaps first selecting the areas you wish to print will help you get what you want, while saving ink and paper too;

Find the end of the bit you want to print, left click hold and drag up the article to the start of the bit you want, let go of the left and then single right click and print, you should now just get the posts and headers selected

(I find this direction of selecting more controllable than going top to bottom!)

If it then tries to print this in the same odd way It's likely the printer preferences which could be specific to the printer your using or managed by the operating system (Windows?) depending on your setup.

If you are using Chrome, click on the 3 bars on the right of the header bar and you can then click on, 'Print'

This gives me a block on the left of the screen for printing and the whole page of what i want to print on the right side! If there are multiple pages it will show all the pages numbered downwards.

Hi Brian,
I did not realise that the question was in this specific context. I think the problem is related to the way "Pocketmags" distribute the PDFs. I used to have an electronic subscription to "Everyday Practical Electronics" At first it was a normal PDF file that you downloaded. This worked perfectly. They then changed this to their own format which was not very good quality and messy software was required to read it. As a result I dropped my subscription. They then started to use PDFs again so I re started my subscription. The problem was they were not normal PDFs. You could not for example copy items from a component list and paste them into a suppliers search box to see if they stocked them. Also you cannot read these PDFs using Android PDF viewers. I have now dropped my subscription again. I think this is the problem you are having. I can understand that they need to try to prevent unauthorised distribution so I can see their reasons for for these protection measures.

Les.

Hello Brian,

That's about the limit of the functionality in the archive viewer.

I think others have given you plenty of advice on how to circumvent our feeble protection against copying of the archive magazines

Neil

Ah, if you have a digital subscription you are doing it the hard way! I thought you were a print subscriber using the archive.

As I understand it you can download and keep issues using the approaches here:

I'm not sure what the printing process is.

Neil

Yes, sorry …. I thought you were talking about regular web pages too.

You can print from the PocketMag offline reader with the print icon at lower left …. 1 page at a time, indifferent quality and it prints with a watermark.
