Tune-A-Tron: Can't Create Pdfs


Recommended Posts

Something has changed in the tune-a-tron Convert-a-matic

 

Now, when I enter an ABC, submit, then hit "PDF sheet music," it gives me a complete Web page, not a PDF.

 

I can print it, but can't save it as a PDF. There's no "save" function. I can use the browser save command, but it will only save it as a "complete Web page," not a PDF. Previously I could save the PDFs created in the convert-a-matic.

 

Am I doing something wrong, or has that function changed?

It may be that something in your browser config has changed (ie the Tune-a-tron PDF funciton stills works for me in the way I expect) - maybe an adobe pdf plugin has been added or updated.

Some thoughts... try a right click on the PDFSheetmusic link then choose "Save LInk As" - for me this saves the PDF.

 

If I left-click on that pdf link it opens (in Chrome) with a pdf plugin. This seems devoid of print or save buttons until I hover the mouse down at the bottom right of the browser window, where apon they magically pop into view.

 

Hopefully one of these ideas will work for you

Many thanks Chris and Spin - it was a browser issue. Something must have changed in the Firefox configuration; the create a PDF function works fine in Chrome and Opera. Thanks for the suggestion!
