Printing PDF from wikipedia
Hey all,
Creating a pdf file from an article in wikipedia and viewing it on the iliad is very easy to do and displays nicely on the iliad (using the right page size offcourse) but... I seem to have a problem with getting the images right. In short: - printing with Internet Explorer creates an image of bad quality in the pdf (details in graphs are not readable).  - printing with Firefox creates a kind of negative of the image, mostly black...  The pdf printer I've tried are PDFCreator, CutePDF and the official adobe 7 printer. Let me further illustrate my problem with an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bode_plot I've put the results as attachements in this post. Does somebody has a suggestion or perhaps a solution? I've already googled it but I've found nothing useful

the issue is the wikipedia entry uses a thumbnail for the graph i.e. its compressed and low resolution.
(from the source you can see that the page uses: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...e_plot.svg.png) so IE's result was actually correct (its the same as i got for safari on the mac) solution, you would need to follow the link to get the real graph. |
