Exactly because PDFs are intended to be printed =)
Btw as a newsletter suggestion, I suggest some ppl write articles before Deej
floods our mailbox again :P
Oh, yeah, about printing html.. getting page boudaries right can be a pain.
Once I used this trick, that works in IE and Opera for windows at least, don't
think it would work in Opera in BeOS.
<html>
<head>
<title>Title...</title>
<STYLE>
P.page { page-break-after: always }
HR.page { page-break-after: always }
</STYLE>
</head>
...
then to insert a page break:
<P class=page> </P>
I had once a linux box on the network, which I added a fake printer, that
would convert the postscript thing from the windows box to a PDF file on the
unix account, then send a winpopup to the windows box to tell it's ready :)
using ps2pdf and samba.
