@kdfrawg Ørk! Don't suppose you have an Apple TV handy? Not sure if they work with monitors, though. They do with video projectors & TVs, of course.
Enjoying a seriously tasty WHOA by Grand Ridge brewery. Wet-hopped oatmeal ale, the brewery has its own hops garden & these hops were harvested on the day the brewing started. Can't get much fresher than that.
It's a refreshing bitter golden ale.
@matigo No, it's not that. It's bloody Apple Mail stripping annotations from PDFs that were most likely created with Adobe Acrobat.
@kdfrawg How does the monitor connect? MiniDisplay port, HDMI?
You can get DisplayLink USB monitor connections, matbe one of those would be a different fan experience.
Two coffees in the last four hours, the first being a strength-11 pod in my Aldi capsule espresso machine, the next one reused the same pod after I opened it & cleaned out the dregs from the first brew. I refilled it with freshly ground coffee of the type I currently have in stock & refitted a finely perforated plastic cap on top of the coffee.
This refill worked perfectly, I shall definitely use that process again.
Future email contact with the superannuation fund will be done via Gmail in the web app form.
On Friday I downloaded forms from my superannuation fund to get more money out. These forms are PdFs with pre-filled sections & blank sections. I annotated the PDFs as required & emailed them. On Tuesday a reply email said the sections that were pre-filled & the ones I had completed were blank. So I did it all again, changing one page of seven to a scanned image.
A phone call this morning said that the first two pages were again blank, with page 3 (the scanned one being OK.
This is damned odd behaviour for Apple Mail on the Mac to do.
So I re-annotated pages 1 & 2, printed & scanned them back onto the Mac & added the new pages to the existing PDF after deleting the original first two pages. Then I compressed the PDF with an Automator workflow that's part of the PDF print services. The 7 page PDF went from 8 MB to 2 MB with no perceptible loss of definition: the embedded images were reduced in size/quality.
To be on tne safe side in case Mail decided to play up with the content again I zipped the PDF & attached it & the PDF to the email. Hopefully that will be OK.
@indigo Looks interesting, I wonder if it'll be a 3G model. Edge/2G is on the way out here.
Two handy workflows I have in my PDF Services folder in the main Library on my Mac failed, allegedly damaged or incomplete. One was Create Booklet, the other was compress PDF. Neither workflow were actually damaged or incomplete, Sierra just went on strike & refused to work with them, so I had to recreate them from scratch. The Booklet item I had added in the past from a free download, now it's a $15 download from the MAS. I wasn't going down that route so I internet-hunted until I found a copy of the original & installed it.
Compress PDF used to be an Automator action but it's now been removed. I had to use the "Compress Images in PDF" action, selecting jpeg & medium level compression. When tested, a 4.8 MB PDF dropped to 650 KB with no noticeable loss of quality.
