..............I've never worked out how to publish PDFs onto my website yet, is there a special program to do it?

There is nothing special to do Richard just load them up to your site with a link to the file. (xxxx.pdf)

Viewing thoughis down to whether the accessing computer has Adobe software installed, at least the Reader is required.

Hi Richard,

Chas is right, but I wonder if you mean how do I create the pdf file in the first place. I use a free program called 'PrimoPDF' which you'll find on t'internet if you do a search for it. It installs like a printer so if I create a document in Word, say, I can 'print' it to PrimoPDF and it converts the document to a PDF file. Then create the link to it as Chas describes.

PrimoPDF is the printer driver I use to create PDFs as well, never failed me yet.

Hi Bob & Chas,

Sorry to have hijacked the thread, I've got a PDF printer driver, I do all my invoicing with it but I can't get my website program (NVU - free program) to open the PDF files to then publish them. I guess it may be beyond the capabilities of the program??

Thanks,

Richard

you shouldnt need to open the files to publish them richard - just link the file and upload it and when someone downloads it is they who need the reader to open it.

Hi Richard, I use Filezilla (free for home use) and as BSM says it is just a case of drag and drop file names to transfer.

Have a look at it to see if it is any easier to use.

Hi Chas, Bob and BSM,

Thanks for all of your tips. I've finally cracked it!!!!

Cheers,

Richard

Going back to chucks ... it's not a false economy to buy a decent chuck (I bought a supernova for instance) and get the right insert (mine had to be made from a blank, cost 10 quid at a local machine shop) ... I did this to learn to use an old Arundel Junior lathe ... got further hooked, and now use the same chuck on a much nicer Wivamac ...

That is until i get my bargain lathe on ebay! (Just missed a nice Tyme Avon with lots of kit for £85 the other day ). Please feel free to spam me with offers of decent kit around the ton mark though!
