I clicked on print and I have a printer option to "save as pdf" - in the past I've used the "Microsoft XPS document writer" which creates a file akin to pdf. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

In that case it makes it useless to have a prevent download feature!

Juat going to say that if you want to prevent downloads, sharing files on a Cloud server isn't the best idea, as it's so easy to open the file in your own PDF viewer and save a copy.

Downloaded fine for me too. ETA: While the Google thing supposedly prevents downloading, doing one very simple and public action causes it to download in order to achieve that action. No underhand tactics, hacking, or anything else questionable required. Very bizarre and somewhat defeats the object of that "do not download" field!

Yeah - you may as well give up if you want some but not all forms of access to media like documents/photos/etc. - even if you have a proprietary Windows-only reader that is airtight in every other respect, even if you take control of someone's computer such that they can't even take screenshots, there's always what's known as the "analogue hole" - get a decent camera and take photos of the screen ;) This is even more seamless for audio, where you can just record what your sound card is playing and rarely notice a difference. Maybe the reason Google does this is to make it clear that the "do not download" thing really doesn't protect anything? I don't know. Log in to reply |

It would presumably mean that if someone tried to reproduce it, anyone looking at it would know it was copied from you or whatever. It depends what your motivations are on protecting it in the first place.

PDFs aren't that secure. A watermark is fairly easy to remove anyway.

I still don't get why you want to stop people downloading a document you're sharing to a cloud storage system, then posting a link for people to see it, but there we go.

Can I ask what I guess is a daft lady question (!!). I have just bought Feltham (my17th)and I am enjoying it...but.Is there any reason it plays from left to right? I think all my other sims play in the direction of the say a rail map. It would be easier if Clapham Junction app was on the right and the loop and Eton were on the top. anyway that my tuppence worth.

It would be easier if Clapham Junction app was on the right and the loop and Eton were on the top. anyway that my tuppence worth.Which way round a sim is will have nothing to do with a map, take Wembley mainline, Euston is on the right as that's where it is on the real panel. Rugby on the other hand has Euston towards the left as that's how the real box has it. elltrain3 in post 126366 said: It's saying "this text is hidden as your lot logged in" for me, when Ive logged out and in again??It was a hold over from an older version of the forum, I've sorted that now, but unfortunately the original link doesn't work anymore.
