Creating PDF's from the How-to section.
I've decided to work on creating pdf's from the Evo How-To forums.. I'm starting with the how-to's that are well structured first...
I'm creating word files first then making pdf's. I'll keep the word files so I can add/change things later on and make new pdf's
Anyone think this is a good idea or am I wasting my time

Here is what I've done so far:

Once I get them all created I'll probably go through and make them look better.. fix spelling etc.. and make sure I credit whoever wrote them

justchil, if you need any help, pm me. I think this a great Idea and would love to help. I don't want to duplicate stuff you may already have created though so if you need the help, holler.

I hate pdfs and I work with them all day long.
Really, tell my why it takes SOOOO long to load or install a VIEWER!
Anyhow, if I need to save them, I simply save the web page... file save

Viewer load time
The Adobe Acrobat Reader takes a long time to load on my Mac, but using the application Preview takes less than a second. So I'd recommend trying another viewer.

Maybe we should combine everyones effort into something really sweet?
Also I'm uploading the word format versions now.
Edit: Actually I'm going to take them all offline for just a little bit.. Going to get everything a little more "uniform" before putting them back online. Should take me 30 mins or so

Ok I've revised them just a bit to include the author and the post url.. trying to keep formatting somewhat the same
I've got like 11 so far .. I just picked out the ones that would require the least amount of effort to format properly
