Theos-Talk Archives (July 2001 Message tt00002)

With Adobe Acrobat, it's possible to encode a document
to include graphics, to allow for on-screen reading in
various sizes and manners with the free Acrobat Reader
program, and to print out documents on a large variety
of printers with the exact page layout and appearance
being preserved. One example is the full-page NEW YORK
TIMES Book Review Ad on the Cranston biography of H.P.
Blavatsky. It appeared on May 27, 2001. The 377k PDF
file can be viewed at:

Another type of preserving the look of an ancient text,
allowing it to be read and viewed in many formats, is
done by Octavio. Their site is:

At some time, it might be good if the original theosophical
materials, including a copy of the first edition of THE
SECRET DOCTRINE and of the original mahatma letters in the
British Museum could be digitized by them? It would take getting
access to the materials, and funding to pay for the effort.
