Dear List,
With the help of Valerie and Angus, I have been able to convert .sgn
files quite successfully to .pdf format that can be read with Acrobat Reader
or GhostView. Forthcoming will be some step-by-step instructions
in case you haven't pieced together a set from our previous notes to you.
There is great advantage in having files in .pdf format, for one, they
can be viewed without having to open SignWriter, and you will not damage
them accidentally from viewing them this way. I have placed one of
my converted files on the web at: https://cyberjer.com/signbibl/page19a.htm
if you would like to see it. When you open this file, you have to rotate
it 90 degrees clockwise or tell the viewer to place the file in the LANDSCAPE
view. In comparison to the converted .gif files of the previous page,
https://cyberjer.com/signbibl/page19.htm , 19a is only half the size of
all the combined .gif files it takes to display this page. Another
advantage of the .pdf format is that in the conversion process, it makes
the images black on white, so that you can print them efficiently on just
about any printer. Acrobat Reader version 4.0 and GhostView are both
available at no cost on the World Wide Web.
