Let us contrast the viewability and readability with this recent linux
magazine.

http://pclosmag.com/index.php/latest...nusos-magazine

At the bottom of that page is a download button. The .pdf doesn't offer
to open in your browser -- the page is configured to download it to your
disk where you can open it with the .pdf agent of your choice.

When you view that magazine in Presentation mode or Full screen or
whatever is your preference, the graphics are sharp, the columns are the
right width, the text contrast on the background is excellent.

There is nothing wrong with my 17" screen's ability to provide more real
estate and pixels than I need to read properly designed .pdf/s.

I agree that *that* pdf is *vastly* superiour in quality to that pdf
from Trend.

You've always been able to see PF's lies quite clearly, for sure! ;-)

@ Mike Easter

It's time for my bed now - but you might like to report your
observations on the Trend forum, here:-

Well, I'm not a big one for trying to convince someone to fix something
they built into a manner to suit me.

The ideal way to demonstrate my many gripes, and I haven't even gotten
to what I think is wrong with the way they built a couple of their pie
graphs, would be to 'rebuild' the .pdf into a proper configuration.

And one still wouldn't be able to fix the poor resolution of the
graphics without having some good rez graphics to begin with.

Maybe someone built/created this paper into a little square printed
booklet and they took the booklet and scanned it in OCR mode so that
made it possible to copy the text and the result was something designed
for a square printed booklet, not a screen display.

Whereas the linux magazine was designed with Scribus from the ground up
for screen display.

What needs to happen with the Trend doc if there is digital content of
all of the pieces is to 'republish' the document in a better format.

BD adopts more and more pure troll behaviors - nymshifting,
crossposting, instigating.

Strange. Like watching a weed grow.

You've been told this by many people on many occasions going back months.
You have no excuse, Mike.

> Strange. Like watching a weed grow.

What's strange is seeing someone who portrays himself to be of such high
intelligence, to just now be making an observation about someone that
everyone else knew months/years ago.

You are a ****ing joke my man. A ****ing joke.

Of course he can't prove it!

It's *all supposition* on his part. He's a ****wit!
