Glad to see these were saved, I love reading through old dynasties from time to time to see how to improve and just take in great pieces of work. Thanks for re-uploading them mistaken!

requests?!?

I think I am up for trying one or two more of these. most votes gets done.

[James Casey]

I've just realised that someone did Scap's (first) SWF diary as a PDF a while back. I'll upload it when I get a chance. The document author's listed as eramsdel, but I don't recognise the name from the forum.

Thanks for doing this! These are great to read on my iPad when I'm off the grid.

I'd actually love a guide for how to do this, just so that I can back up my own!

how to pdf a diary
1) go through the diary and pull every single post by the author (I do this with a program I wrote to parse the pages, oddly enough it's written as a macro in an excel workbook)
2) use a pdf printer to print the singly saved out pages (I use bullzip with the setting set to custom, to auto name and put the files in an certain order, based on the post count number)
3) go through every page to determine if it is "part of the diary" or an ooc post that should no longer be part of the diary (things like vote pages, or results or responses to personal statements are better left out, as there is no context for that in a non interactive form. they of course stay in, if they "part of the story' type post
4) use a tool to take all of the pages that have made the cut and bind them together as one pdf (I use PDfill, but I am sure there are other tools that would do the job. often I have to bind smaller sub sets of say 100 post together, and then bind the 3 or 4 large peices together, to prevent an error in the process from killing the job)

I hope this helps.

Great thread! I strongly suggest this thread be stickied. I also find these PDF versions handy, as it allows me to read TEW diaries while on the road and without any access to the Internet...

If I can make a request...how about James Casey's SWF: Who is Richard Eisen?

Hey, thanks! I have no such program nor can I figure out how to automate just pulling a single user's post, but I found even doing it manually it's easier to dump it all as raw text into something like OpenOffice or Word and print to PDF from there - surely that would be simpler?

simpler is a relative statement

No matter how you do it, scanning the some times 1000's of post in a diary takes time.

The export to HTML, makes editing the format easy. Plus I can strip some of the grey dog framing off the page, and do text editing with little fuss.

print to PDF then retains the lay out. cut and pasting to word programs often kills or alters formatting lay out and other HTML features.

Is my way Simpler? Probably not, but you asked for a step by step, so i gave you my steps.

For WIRE (and Supreme) pdfing them is easy enough - they're both in Word documents, fully formatted and ready to go. They lack pictures, but until and unless mistaken get's very bored they should do as a stopgap. I'll try and do them soon.

In the meantime, and with all credit to the original compiler, Scapino's SWF diary can be found at http://rapidshare.com/files/507166472/SWF.pdf
