[ILL-L] CONVERTING FILES

[Leslie Starasta]

Have you tried printing the item to a PDF converter of some kind and then
importing the item into ARIEL?  I like PDF Creator but there are other free
items as well.

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?
