Hi Les Mikesell and folks,
I got my problem half-solved, print a webpage as .pdf file direct on
Internet.
Steps:
FC5_64 KDE desktop
File -> Print -> (on "Print" window) "Printer Name" select
"PostScript/default -> click "Properties" -> Change "lpr
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}" to "kprinter --stdin"
(w/o quote) then [OK]
Clicking "Print" will start "Print-KPrinter" and from there select
"Print to File(PDF) Under "Output file: type /path/to/your.pdf
Text on the .pdf file thus created worked with copy/paste command if
read on "Acroread". BUT ONLY strange symbol pasted on .txt file.
I think there will be something wrong on the running "Acroread".
Because each time evoking it started a warning;
"There was an error while loading the plug-in 'PPKLite.api'. The
plug-in failed to initialize [OK]"
> Ghostscript includes a program called ps2ascii that might have a
> chance at some ps and pdf files where evince won't copy the text
> but even that won't work on the ones that have been rendered to
> images.
ps2ascii is running on this box;
# which ps2ascii
/usr/bin/ps2ascii
It can't help.
$ ps2ascii /path/to/file.ps
