Hi guys and girls, I wanted my project in PDF format so that I could email it to someone, but Firefox kept stuffing up the PDF print preview (infact, all browsers did). So I quickly knocked up some code to download a thread into HTML format (as a single document), images aren't downloaded, only referenced. Then using a PDF printer (Eg. CutePDF) you can print straight to PDF, but this time its much more viewable and clear. Or you can open the file in Internet Explorer / Firefox etc. and save it again - and it will download all the images too.
Its pretty easy to do it, just do the following...http://vw.sonassi.com/49436/Replace the topic number in the above URL to that of your own topic. The topic number can be found in your address bar. It is only 5 integers.Or, if I have posted on a thread - click the link in my signature and it will load the page automatically.This code is only going to work for GolfGTI.co.uk - its pretty low impact, it only opens as many pages as you have on your thread. The font and background etc. can all be set with CSS once you have downloaded the document. Enjoy!
Eg. bens ... 1986 MKII 1.8 8v K-Jet Golf ... project -

http://vw.sonassi.com/82574/FAO Administrators etc.A small
log is being kept of what has been downloaded, so you can see what effect (if any at all) it's having on the server. Also, the server is caching results now, so it will put a minute load on the GolfGTI server - if the cache is out of date, it will auto update on demand.
