Mr. Cheeseman's "Vermont Recipes" are _not_ giving me grief, and I
resent
the hell out of you continually putting words in my mouth. Mr.
Cheeseman
is _not_ responsible for anything to do with my not being able to print
two-sided and at slightly reduced magnification.
No.. that would be my fault, since I'm responsible for the
templates that Bill uses to generate the PDF..
You complained about not being able to print them without getting
hole punches in the text itself. templates.. margins.. my fault.
Don't bother
answering that, as I have little doubt that you will find a way to twist
it about and once again try to make me into some sort of villain. I am
sick of your scurrilous attacks on me and ask you to stop posthaste; I
have enough on my plate trying to learn Cocoa!
That is uncalled for, and this has bugged me all damn day.. so, my
apologies to the list (and the inevitable spanking from Heather)... I'm
not going to be painted BY YOU as a bad guy on this.
You posted an off-topic question about printing double sided to
this list.. nothing to do with Cocoa at all... this would be fodder for
macosx-talk or macosx-admin (maybe)
Through a very _trying_ series of messages, I practically walked
you to the appropriate sites to look at, this AFTER providing you with
several solutions that would work, including pointing you to Reader 4.0
You railed about how Cocoa people think that this is so easy, and
that you searched Softrak (through all 132 packages or some such
martyrdom number) and blah blah blah. That you didn't have Adobe Reader
4.0 (and that you never have).. but that 4.0.5 you did have, but that it
didn't print these pages at a reduced size and that as a result, margins
were an issue. That it was Apple's fault, they were lazy for not having
this in preview to begin with...
Not ONCE in that rant did you say thanks for the solutions..
instead you just ranted...
Yes.. but still, I was pretty damn patient in my reply to that,
although I did make the comment that you consider an 'attack' on you.
And then I get this... and I have to ask WHY??? I HELPED YOU!
PROVIDED YOU SEVERAL SOLUTIONS! I even went so far as downloading the
PERL PDF::API2 module, installing it, and writing a script that split
PDF files up into even/odd pages (but after the above, I'll be damned if
I'll make it available -- it's less than 12 lines of PERL... but you can
get stuffed for all I care)
So... don't paint me as the bad guy in this. You expect everything
handed on a platter to you... and I spent probably 2 hours over the
course of the last 24 or so looking for, or writing, a solution to
this. Not to mention all day letting this stupid posting of your's bug
the hell out of me.
