    As a little test, using FF in Linux, I have just done a trivial SoA and formatted for MSE. The pop up window works well and I have been able to print this to a pdf file. So I am wondering if the way to get pdfs of SoA's is for you to produce an html formatted presentation of the SoA into a popup browser window [with controls available] and for the user then to use a 'print to pdf' function from his system. Obviously, I have no idea if you can do this as standard from windows.
    On my Windows 7 Firefox system, I don't have a "print to PDF" function, so can't do that. The easiest way to get the SOA into a document at the moment is to use the "Format for Print" option on the calculator, then copy and paste that into a MS Word (or Openoffice etc) document. I could create a "Format for Spreadsheet" option which creates a comma-delimited file which could be opened up by a spreadsheet tool.

    Thanks for your kind comments and apologies for the technospeak. Just ignore it.
