Title: "Publish" your pdfs online
Post by: krissel on October 21, 2008, 04:21:34 AM
Came across this site that lets you upload any pdf for view online. You can also link to what you upload from other places (like here). And it's free.

QUOTE
With Issuu anyone can automatically convert their documents into interactive online publications. It only takes a minute and it's free. After this you can view your document in a neat magazine-style viewer, that other people can bookmark, share and comment on. You can also post (embed) your Issuu documents on any external site, profile or blog, both as a small preview and as a full-size standalone viewer. Finally, you get your own 'intelligent' Library that finds stuff YOU like.

That's pretty cool!  (I just happened to stumble upon the "Amsterdam Weekly." I read the print edition when I visit the canal city.) Being able to add publications as RSS feeds is a very nice feature.  Two clicks is all it took to add "Amsterdam Weekly" to my NetNewsWire feeds. I'm going to spend some time perusing the other offerings at Issuu.

Magazine publishing for the masses: this is the kind of thing where the Internet is exceeding my hopeful expectations.

I think you can do this with Dreamweaver, anyway I took a web page of mine and turned it into a pdf, and put it on the site, works fine.
Im pretty new at doing this sort of stuff, but if thats what you mean, I might not have it correct,  but its rather easy to convert one of your own pages.

Just about any document can be turned into a pdf by simply using the Print command in whatever app you are using. If the app uses the built-in printing functions, there is a button with pdf options right there. wink.gif You have a Mac, stop trying to make things difficult! laugh.gif

Oh, I do that a lot, but we had to change a web site somehow, I must go back to that lesson and see what we did.
Youve got my curiosity running!
Thanks,
