PLEASE HELP ME TEST...

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support AutomaticWasher.org:

All perfect!

Notice the quality of the scan and clarity of the text, is the file clear and very readable to you?
Very high quality image, I can zoom it and it mantains a good level of detail.

For those with a printer available, can you print the document, how does the printed version look? For those with laser printers would you say it looks close to if not as good as you would expect the original document to look?

Printing with my Lexmark Optra E340 a test page I have a pretty good result, text could be a little sharper but it's a very good quality overall.

Were you able to download the file and save it to your hard drive so you have the file forever, even after I remove this sample download page? Did your browser ask you whether you would like to OPEN or SAVE the file? After the file was finished downloading did your browser let you know it was done?

Using Opera 11.61 on Windows 7 x64 works great, I can choose to save or open, as usual and using FoxIt Reader for it, all the functions work perfectly, searching for text works without problems.
 
Looks great here - Mac 10.7.3, Chrome and Preview for printing to a HP LJ3800. The printout itself was beautiful - good as new!

I now feel ready to install my 1963 Kenmore Automatic Washer!
 
Worked great and I'm at work.  2 seconds to save to hard drive and 5 to print on laser printer.  Great quality.
 
ye olden vintage Mac

Does all it says perfectly.

iMac G4 "the bedside lamp" ;-)) with 10.3.9 Panther
Schuberth pdf plugin installed
Tried with old Safari and old Firefox (Schuberth didn't react at all as was to be expected with Adobe 7 docs)
Both browsers asked whether to save it or to open it in Preview. (clicked "save")
time: 52 sec. (via cable box)
Adobe 5 and Preview: not capable (as was expected)
Adobe 7: fine, looks like factory made, good resolution, best 90° alignment and page to page.
Printing flawlessly.
 
Looking good here -- it downloaded without asking if I wanted to see or save (normal for my setup, Mac/Safari). Preview opened the file, no problem. Text is clear and printout is good, the search feature worked really well.

Looks like it will be another wonderful new feature, thank you!
 
Thanks everyone for your assistance. It appears that the test was near 100%, yay!

Tomorrow we will try it again, with something slightly larger and more colorful.
 
Hi Robert

PCLinuxOS 2012 KDE version

Uses Okular as PDF viewer.

(I'm new to KDE, I have used XFCE before)

If I do as instructed and select "save" when asked, it saves just fine.

If I select "open with...Okular (default)" then it opens fine.

If I then go (within Okular viewer) to "File > Save copy as" then it copies fine where I tell it to.

BUT

If from inside Okular I select "file > save as" (NOT save copy as) and choose a destination on my Hard Drive, I get the following error message:

File could not be saved in '/home/chris/tmp/kde-chris/okularI10293.tmp'. Saving files with /Encrypt is not supported.

the file address shown above with references to .tmp is not where I was saving to any way.
I was actually saving to home/documents/instructions

I have saved another PDF from another site, using the above method and it saved fine, to where I wanted it to go.

Of course if I followed the method you asked, it worked just fine. That's good enough for me. I just mentioned this in case you want to follow it up.

Chris.

Problems with Okular

After seeing the post Chris made, I tried another computer system. This runs MintPPC (based on Debian GNU/Linux). I have KDE 4.x installed, but I use XFCE (kinder to an elderly computer). Okular gives me the same problem with "Save As" that Chris reported.

I took the opportunity to try ePDFView. It opens and searches fine. Trying to "Save As" brings up a error message saying:
"Error Saving File
"Document is encrypted"

Evince poses no problems with saving a copy.
 
One comment: I realize that Adobe Reader is "required" for this download. But, thinking about long term usability, Adobe Reader is not something that everyone will have. Some people refuse to have it due to performance issues. Others can't have it all. I doubt that Adobe Reader is available for this system; I know for certain Flash is not available.
 
Acrobat Pro Version 6

When I tried opening it with Acrobat Professional version 6, I also had the issue with "Bad Encrypt Dictionary". (Occurred when opening directly as well as when opening a saved file.) It worked fine with Acrobat Reader.

Thanks again guys for your tests again I consider the results nearly perfect. Thanks for the information John, at some point in the future I might consider extended it to other minority systems, but for now Adobe Reader software is the global standard for electronic document sharing. It's fast, at least on every system I've ever used it on and its free.
