Reading, Printing and Downloading entries

Reading

To read an entry, simply click on the entry number and a new window will open in which a PDF version of the submission will be displayed.

All the web browsers I have checked (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera) have a built-in reader which will display PDF documents inline. If your browser starts up Adobe viewer or tries to download the document, then you may need to adjust your browser settings. If you need help with this, please get back in touch with me.

Printing

Click on the entry number to view the PDF version of the submission
In IE, Chrome or Opera - right click and select Print from the pop-up menu
In Firefox you should see a PDF toolbar immediately above the document; click on the print icon, towards the right hand end of the toolbar

Downloading

Click on the entry number to view the PDF version of the submission
In IE use Tools | File |Save As
In Firefox, you should see a PDF toolbar immediately above the document; click on the download icon, towards the right hand end of the toolbar
In Chrome a little toolbar should pop up when you hover the mouse in the bottom right hand corner of the window; click on the icon that looks like an old-fashioned floppy disk to download the file [alternatively you can use Tools | Save Page As]
In Opera a toolbar will pop up when you hover the mouse near the bottom on the window; click on the icon that looks like an old-fashioned floppy disk to download the file

Mac user?
Alas, I don't have a Mac, so can't give you exact instructions for Safari but, if you need help with this, get back in touch with me and I will enlist the help of my son to come up with the recipe.

Want to read on a Kindle? PDFs can be read directly on the Kindle but there is no automatic line wrap which can mean you have to display at an uncomfortably small font size. It is possible to improve the readability of the file by using Amazon's own personal document conversion service:

Download the PDF file to your computer
Email the file to your Send-to-Kindle e-mail address with the Subject line: Convert
You can find your Send-to-Kindle e-mail address on your Kindle by going to Settings > Device Option > Personalize your Kindle on your e-reader.
