| 829 forum posts 1 photos | Re the rescans of MEW-079 to MEW-112. #94 has 38 pages total; #96 has 44 pages (most of the others are around 68 pages). Were these really such sort editions or are there still pages missing? |

 126 forum posts 11 photos | According to the list posted by David, issues 94 and 96 have not yet been rescanned. |

| 27 forum posts | Besides impairing or destroying the usefulness of the table of contents of the individual magazines and the cumulative indexes that will undoubtedly be available soon, omitting advert only pages causes other problems!
Adobe Reader has viewing feature in the Page Display menu called "2-Up". This presents 2 facing pages presented side by side, just as if you had the magazine open on a desk in front of you. For instance, pages 18 and 19 in MEW normally face each other, so as you page through the magazine, a title spanning those 2 pages is visible in its entirety when paging thru the magazine. If you have a large enough screen or multiple screens, this is a very nice way to read PDF files, since more info is visible at one go.
An example is found in MEW No. 119, pages 18 & 19. There you will find the article "Drill Grinding With the Quorn Tool and Cutter Grinder". In the digital copy, instead of these facing pages presenting the title visually unbroken across two pages, the omission of an odd number of advert pages earlier has caused pages 17 and 18 to face each other, and pages 19 and 20 to face each other. The title is split across the 2-Up display, when it should be a visually integrated title spread across the 2 open pages.
So instead of trying to save space by not scanning advert only pages, please scan the magazines in their entirety. Besides, at some distant time in the future, these adverts will be just as interesting as the articles! |

 56 forum posts | Hi
At this stage, Digital copies can be viewed, and printed. Software is available to print to PDF format. The problem is that the thirdparty application used to view the PDF's uses up a lot of bandwidth to display the pages in animated format, and require Flash viewer to be installed. Other magazines on this site is downloadable in PDF Format.
The argument about selling copies on EBAY.
The people looking for copies want the original, as they most likely are collectors.
If I were a collector I would not pay for a copied copy of the magazine.
Please reconsider the suggestion to make the copies downloadable as PDF files.

| 27 forum posts | I cannot print issue No. 16. When I do a print request, it prepares all pages 1 through 61 with no problems, but gets stuck at page 62. I attempted to print pages 63 through 76, but it gets stuck again, never issuing any messages about preparing any pages.
Oddly enough, I can view all pages just fine, but I can't print pages 62 through 76. I have the latest version of Flash, and I have tried emptying out my temporary internet files folder; nothing made any improvement.

| 1 forum posts | I would like to purchase subscriptions to the Digital versions of ME and MEW. I am a pilot and my location changes quite often an I don't want to deal with the hassle of updating my mailing addresses all the time. I enjoy the digital archive I purchased of MEW but I am really after ME. |

| 27 forum posts | Addition to the print problem on issue No. 16. If I request printing only pages 1 thru 62, it will print successfully. However, I cannot request printing of any range of pages that includes any pages in the range of 63 thru to the end. |

| 1723 forum posts | To be hoped that you got someone who knows what they're doing for that one David given the hassle that has gone on with the MEW.
I recind my requests for a price for CD/DVD copies and will have a scout round for original copies and scan me own to electronic/plastic copies.
Regards Ian. |

| 27 forum posts | Issues 94 and 96 still has the overlay problem, most visible on the contents page. |

| 829 forum posts 1 photos | I noticed a number of the MEW digital back-issues that had problems seem to have been fixed. Perhaps related to a recent shutdown of those pages for "essential maintenance work"? In any event, thanks and Is there a listing anywhere that shows all the issues that were fixed? |

| 6 forum posts | David, I refer to my last missive about issues 38 - 40; now that all seems to work as it should. For myself, and I hope on behalf of the others who sent posts on this matter, I thank you for your prompt attention. This next sentence is supposed to be written in Basic Cockney, but since I ain't a native speaker, perhaps you (and all the others born within sight of Bow Bells) will forgive my clumsy attempts. 'ere, Dave, was you ever a member of one of them rock'n'roll fingies back in the 1960's; you and four uvver geezers? You was famous then! Or are you merely sick of such stupid questions?

| 12 forum posts | Is the "total rescanning" complete yet ?
I am still having some issues with printing
issues 122 to 149 as they have edges that
show weird positoning marks and color charts.
Is anyone else having probelms like this? |
| LADmachining | 05/02/2010 16:40:49 |
126 forum posts 11 photos | Rick - I believe these positioning (registration) marks are due to the electronic versions being produced from the computerised layouts that are sent to the printers to produce the actual magazine. I found that altering the printing preferences (namely page scaling/zoom) could remove these marks. It depends what software you are using to print the files... Regards, Anthony |
