Print friendly Field Guide pages
Posted: December 17th, 2016, 1:58 pm
I thought I'd try to get some input/suggestions for adding a print friendly feature to the Field Guide.
The 'app' that's been suggested to me is Print Friendly.
With this particular application, there are three possible ways to go as far as I can figure out:
1. Publicize the app on the Field Guide index page. Users can add it to their favorites bar and click on it when they want to print any open web page. Basically, you can look at the print view and then click out anything you don't want to print, including whole sections of text, extraneous headers, images, etc. You can check a box to exclude all images, but if you want a map to be part of it, then you'll have to click out the other images individually.
Anyway, with this app, you can reduce a trailhead page from sometimes three pages to less than one page with just the directions.
2. Put a link to the app in the generic header. It's free if you can tolerate a few ads.
3. Pay $40/year to have the app link without ads (I'll have to ask the TKO Board if they want to pay for this).
So that's Print Friendly, but maybe some of you have other suggestions . . .
In the past, I've simply copied and pasted the text I need into a Word document. That works, too.
