Am I loosing it, or were the past issues of the magazine once in PDF format? I want to reprint the ones I didn't finish, and it is easier for me to print from PDF format than from that popup window.
(and no, I'm not passing them on, I'm just trying to double side, and I simply can't do it with that pop up)

Not quite sure what you mean. They have never been available as "pure" PDF files (although I am hoping to make some sets available that way in the future) - you could only ever make them PDFs by clicking the little icon on the puzzle page.

maybe i'm looking for the button to turn them into pdf files. Silly question, but can I save it somehow from that print pop up then combine them into a pdf file?
I'm seriously just thinking about how heavy it is to carry around 20 sheets of paper vs. 10.

Lazy thing I am.

If I can't get something to print both sides I just pull all the paper out of the printer and feed each sheet in twice.

I know this sounds like an excuse, but I am just a lowly instructor. I have to use a shared computer so the flip out and reprint option doesn't always work. I've gotten lesson plans, year end reviews, a cv even on the back side. (Inclusive of the guys salary

) I'd hate to think of what people think of me when they get a piece of puzzlebrains on the back of their work. (Although, it's probably no worse than they already think of my puzzling hobby

)
That is one more reason for me to work out how to save and combine the files.

Sorted! I'm so pleased with myself.
If anyone else is interested, or even cares....I opened the little print pop up, copied everything on the page, then pasted to a word document. Once those were all copied, I opened my pdf reader and created a pdf out of the word files.
That must have been what I did the first time around
One down, 12 more to go

Well done
I copy bits of puzzles in to Word, Paint, even Notepad if that's all I think I'll need. I'm quite happy with them being scattered across various files but correctly held within folders for each issue. Then I know just where
ALL my ignored and abandoned puzzles are if I ever become independantly wealthy and free of any other responsibilities
Nice to hear what you end up with the backsides of your puzzles working sheets

How about sticking Taggart on the back of that CV and converting his salary to pounds, shillings, and pence?

Yeah! It only took me 4 hours but I managed to do it all! Mind, most issues are 40+ pages
