Pdf is pretty good for see or to print, but it's a nightmare if you want to extract a quote, a speech o something like that. Because that, I prefer to have also the texts in html, a format easy to manipulate and convert to word, palm's, electronic devices, etc. For Mr B. Try to use the console tool: pdftotext (available in linux and mac), if you only want to have the text, it's the best tool. ahhh, and thanks for the link. greeting.

If you have not been able to get all the files to download, you can delete your current subscription and resubscribe to the podcast and it should work fine.

What a great set of photos illustrating the international nature of the current membership. I have copied the link and sent it to our ward members, using tinyurl.com. (The original url is overwhelming!) I know that it is possible for members to dig through lds.org and find these photos, but I doubt that many would do this.

Unfortunately, there is no way around that limitation of PDF. PDF doesn't know about paragraphs, so every end of line in a PDF gets translated to a hard line break which is interpreted by most word processors as a new paragraph. If you want to copy and paste text, you will have more success copying and pasting from the web browser view. @Dr. B.

Fri, 09 May 2008 11:53:30 +0000 http://www.ldswebguy.com/?p=308#comment-14789 I have one criticism that I want to register. When you do a cut and paste from the pdf version it doesn't wrap the text in MS Word or Linux Open Office. I have to go in and then use the delete key or backspace to pull the text up to the line in Word. I have extracted several quotes from the manual in to my Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord quote book on my blog as well text from the Religion 130 manual. The good thing about the 130 manual is that it is easier to extract the text from html then look up citations in the pdf version. Can you fix this problem in pdf versions since it causes more work for those who want to use it in various writing. Then you don't have to open the both versions and go back and forth. I find it a valuable resource. Members can learn a lot of motivational things from the manual. One other thing that would be good is if you have durable links to individual pages so you could shoot straight to that page if you quote in a web based publication now it goest back to the whole document.
