PDF Document Problem
by Todd D. Degani · in Torque Game Engine · 05/23/2005 (4:59 pm) · 7 replies
I just picked up the lighting pack today and have a question on the pdf doc included with the download. When I open it up in Adobe Reader 7 (Formerly Acrobat) the entire document shows up as 1 page and basically can't be printed at that point.
I know there is an HTML version but just thought I would throw this out there in case it hasn't been noticed yet and I was hoping to print up a tidy little manual.

I bought the pack yesterday and found it odd also that the pdf is a single page. I am bored at work today so I decided to fix it :) I'm using the full version of acrobat. One small contribution to the community...www.digitalblur.com/threed/modelersGuide.pdf

Awesome! Was it an easy change? When version 1.4 is nearing completion would you mind helping format those docs?
Thanks!

John you could use cutePDF to do exactly that. I don't know if there would be a license issue though.

Awesome, I've never heard of cutePDF before, but sounds like it should work out ok:Quote:

Ya, I've noticed that before - it's because the PDF is generated from the html doc (using the 'export to PDF' in the Open Office html editor). I print out the docs using the html version, which works great.
This kind of sucks, but exporting the docs to PDF was only done to provide a lesser used alternative to the html version, so I haven't spent a lot of time working out how to resolve the problem.
