Hi All, Kevin has graciously allowed this book he has edited to be posted on our site and for people on the site to use the content in the commentary pages. I'm working on the formatting of this page, and Kevin is also going to take a look. Any suggestions? Also, feel free to experiment with the page.

Some of the file sizes are way too big. As some of you know from past discussions on this issue, the only way to preserve the Greek seems to be to make the PDF files in such a way that the size is also quite large. I am thinking of creating a whole new set of pdf's with square boxes where each greek character would be that would be about the tenth the size of these files. Then the user could choose. But I haven't gotten to it yet and don't want to go to the trouble unless it really seems like it is needed. Suggestions?

Well, enough on the technical stuff. The most important thing is the book itself. It is a treasure trove of great information. Here's to more great commentary on our LDS standard works!

PS Kevin will announce it when the time is right from his blog, so I'm not going to put a link from the front page or anything like that until then either.

There seems to be a problem with the first link. The others I checked seemed to work ok. I'll look into this first link tomorrow. --Matthew Faulconer 05:47, 28 Aug 2006 (UTC)

The first link works for me, but the zip file doesn't. Also, Kevin announced this page on his blog, so I'm going to try and add a link to the home page.

I think it would also be worth having one file with all the pdf files merged, even though it will make for a pretty large file (someone actually requested this on Kevin's blog post). I can do this with Adobe Acrobat, but I'm out of town for a couple days, so unless someone gets to it earlier, I'll try to do it later this week. --RobertC 05:35, 29 Aug 2006 (UTC)

just barely fixed the zip file issue. If you can merge the pdf files that would be great. I could do it (first merge the word files, then print to pdf) but it sounds like you have an easier way. I could of course zip them all up easily enough. --Matthew Faulconer 05:38, 29 Aug 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it's pretty easy in Acrobat to append the pages together. The zipped folder might also be nice (esp. since I'll need to download all the files!), if space on the site isn't a concern (i.e. very costly...). --RobertC 05:42, 29 Aug 2006 (UTC)

I'll go ahead and e-mail you the pdf's so you don't have to download each one. I think we may want to zip the huge pdf that will result. --Matthew Faulconer 03:17, 30 Aug 2006 (UTC)
