You're NOT SAVING THE ORIGINAL to your PC - you're making a COPY of it.

There can only be ONE ORIGINAL - that's at the company that put it up in the first place.

IF the company makes a change to the coupon on their website - changes the T&Cs, redemption locations, expiry date - the one on your PC doesn't change does it ? So if they change the ORIGINAL what do you have saved on your PC ? AN OUT OF DATE COPY !

As for the rest of the statement 99.99999% irrelevant

Your "exact state" and "pixels,colours etc." is "meaningless"

I can print the same pdf from ....
a desktop, a netbook and 2 laptops ...
running Windows NT, Win98, WinXP and Windows7 ...
directly from Adobe or ANOTHER PDF handling application ....
or directly from a browser like IE or CHROME etc. etc. ...
or indirectly by other methods ...
using a colour laser printer, a monochrome laser, a deskjet, a photo-printer ...
via several print handlers (Windows, browser, application) ...
many of which have individual document to printer colour translation interpretation settings ... (many of which I've never changed since installation)

which means I can print an ORIGINAL pdf DIRECT FROM A COMPANY's webpage in dozens and dozens of different ways....

... I guess I quite regularly use 8 or 10 0f them .....

and ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THEM IS DIFFERENT TO EACH OTHER

Unless the company provides ABSOLUTE INSTRUCTIONS of PC setup & configurations, document handling applications to be used (AND HOW) together with a list of COMPATIBLE PRINTERS and the specific settings of all characteristics ....

.. then YOUR printed PDF coupon will almost be GUARANTEED to look slightly different to mine ...

... even if we use exactly the same everything, hardware, software, settings, right down to the same printer but you've got expensive original HP ink/toner cartridges and mine are cheap compatibles.

quoia, I worked in marketing for 15 years before having children. I do not agree with what you have said re. PDF v scanned moc. However, I have no intention of continuing this debate so would just like to ask, which company/companies did you contact regarding the approved use of their MOC which was provided in electronic form?

I think everything quoia says makes sense. I agree that really if a company takes away a coupon it is because they don't want it to be used anymore even thought it may still be valid. We have always saved pdf's and printed when the links have gone, but that isn't to say it is ok.

I am not going to be a hypocrite though and will admit to using the dettol and any other pdf's I have when the links have gone and the company obviously don't want to issue anymore coupons. If they wanted to limit the no of coupons they issue then they can use a company like couponnet which limits us, but obv a pdf is cheaper for them.

Quoia, I have never been able to find a decent supplier of compatible/refilled HP toners where toner doesn't leak out, so I buy the expensive originals, which last for a long time now their is hardly any coupons around;)

Wouldn't know about this as my lasers are both Samsung.
I think I said before (perhaps on another thread) I got 2 Samsung Color Lasers - a CLP300 and a CLP300N (with network card) from FREECYCLE/FREEGLE - from 2 different offers (different people) a few weeks apart.
Both were fully working and had a complete set of 4 part-used (35% to 65% full) toners included.
One had originals, one had compatibles.
At the minute I've got a mix of 2 of each installed since when one ran out I just took it out of the other printer.
I've yet to BUY :eek: any toners but looks like I can get a full set of 4 compatibles from eBay from about £17 delivered (last time I looked).

My monochrome laser is a Samsung ML-1510 - bought it new for £19.99

If you have a cond spend coupon and things you want are not in stock to bring the amount up to the £40 spend then buy something to take back. I find clothes or printer ink is ideal as it is sooooooo easy to get the wrong ink or clothes that don't fit;)

Good idea for next time!

I did get things I wanted but for things like cereal where I'd planned to get 5 boxes, I bought 10 - it will be used but I'd have preferred the variety!

Hi Bluewkd,
you will not be able to find compatible HP inks or toners anywhere as they have a HP patented design, so if someone made a compatible version they would be in breach of said patents.
You can however get them refilled and the chips reset:D

I know the McCain Chips from Tumble Tots has been pulled but can I still use the 2 I have already printed off before it was pulled?
