How to share a pdf document...

[Bob Wright]

My wife's late uncle was at Anzio with the 3rd. Infantry Division. Before he died, he did a write-up about his experience at Anzio. This was found among his things after his death. It was hand written and I transcribed it into a pdf document. I thought if anyone was interested I'd post it here, but I don't know how to post it in readable form. Would there be any interest if I could do that? It is about four pages as typed. And, would anyone find it of interest?

I would love to read it.

The easiest way that I know of to post it is to have it on a server (much like you do
with a picture) then encase the URL for it within URL tags on the forum.

why can't you just copy & paste from the PDF?

No one says you can't . . . IF you don't mind a four page post.
Many forums don't like that.

remember the guy with the book of his life experiences Disabled etc. Great stories stunt guy? Name escapes me at the moment. His were way longer.. and well received

One other thought: Are there any diagrams?
If yes, then those will be lost with the copy-paste.

I vote copy and paste.... folks can choose to read it or not.... maybe just add it is a long post in the title...

Get a dropbox account, post the pdf there and you can then post a link to it here so anyone wanting to read it can open it online and do so.

I'd like to read it as well, if you can't find a way to post it, I agree, just copy and paste. If it's too lone for one post, you could break it up into sections.

by the way, how was his handwriting? I found a couple old post cards from my grandpa in my parent's garage. Man, I couldn't read them for anything.

I would read it

Copy & paste here should not be an issue

Shouldn't that be up to the moderators? If Bob could just post a link to it, I too would love to read it.

O.K. Cute and paste it is. I have posted under a new thread. "Anzio Diary of GW Nix."

Thanks for all who helped me post this.
