[ILL-L] CONVERTING FILES

[Thompson, Cynthia Marie]

Have you tried NLM?  It can be a little spotty on the html files, but
it's worth a try!

Subject: [ILL-L] CONVERTING FILES


Occasionally, when filling requests from online journals, the article
needed is a web page or html document.  These can't be converted into
TIFFs or PDFs as far as I know.  Besides printing them out and scanning
them into Ariel or Odyssey, is there any way to get them into a format,
i.e., TIFF, that can be imported into Ariel or Odyssey?  I've tried just
sending the article as an email attachment, but I'm afraid the recipient
might not be able to read it.  When I send it through Microsoft Outlook
Express, the message comes up that if the recipient is on Express, they
might not be able to open it.(?)

I've tried all kinds of steps to get one of these files into a TIFF.
Have been able to make one a TEXT, but that loses the graphics from the
original file.

I'm sure many people have run into this.  Has anyone found a way around
it?
