All,

Yes, I am still learning IT;  so today I found that you also can convert a webpage into a PDF; wow; google it.

I just started writing the very first part of my 22GHz maser measurement session. So now I will add at the end of each parac.eu webpage a PDF, so you can download my story when you are in a hurry.
(it will take some time for all pages)

Regards,
Michiel

Thanks, Michiel. Secret is, a PDF is actually a picture, not text.

That depends how the PDF is created. The SARA journal, for example, is text and
pictures combined.

Just FYI if you aren’t already using them … there are a few nice Python packages that will allow you to create PDF documents (i.e.  fpdf, PyPDF2).

Certain versions of Adobe have been able to convert any webpage to a PDF for many years now.

For those with plenty of time on their hands, build your web page using LaTex from which you can save the HTML file as well as a Postscript file (.ps). With the PS file in hand you then create PDF.
Don't remember how long it took me to learn to do all that but it was quite awhile. Not sure I could do it anymore; not sure I'd want to.
