Just for the sake of knowing, I just zipped a folder containing a service manual consisting of six PDF files totaling over 12MB using Winzip, the resulting zip file is 1.5MB. That's the only way I know to make a large PDF file small for storage or for upload/download. I think from now on whenever I upload a manual to the members area I'll zip it first, anyone can unzip it. ******************************************************************************************************************* Since 1972 Jim Myers Telrad Electronics Fort Wayne, Indiana Gary McCartney wrote: > It's called Stitching and you can do it with professional graphics > programs like Corel Photopaint or Adobe Photoshop.
