OT: SMALL PDF Icons

Pretty easy to borrow small example ones from other websites (Digikey's are pretty small, 17 x 19 pixels). Right-click, Save Image as..

As to making such a symbol track the size of the text as the user adjusts it in whatever of the mainstream browsers they may be using... I don't know how to do that or if it's practical, but a web developer should be along any moment to give a definitive answer...

Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

I settled on just using text (see my home page). I'll figure out buttons later ;-)

I don't recall a small one from Adobe but some websites use a small colored button with the letters PDF that are close to the right size. A couple minutes in any graphics program should give you something you can use.

Jim, I posted a tiny bitmap sample (278 bytes) on A.B.S.E

That one is non-copyright. It might be unwise to use the Adobe one, unless you also include the free reader. They could hardly complain about that!

I use the regular Adobe Acrobat icon for a link to the free reader and plain clickable links for the actual *.PDF files on my websites.

What was wrong with leaving the name/number of each patent as the link like you originally had it?

Seems like the logical choice: elegant, simple, and guaranteed to be compatible with any browser. Can't beat that combination.

I didn't like the way it looked... I know, picky, picky, picky ;-)

Except Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Korean .... (;-) You can't win.

If they can't read english, the patents wouldn't make much sense would they, John?

BTW: Duck!

Was it your cousin who collected ducks? I have a 33 cent US postage stamp with Daffy duck if they would like to have it. it is the stamp and a larger image of him standing by his mailbox at "Acme Pond, USA" Its about 3 3/8" wide and 5 1/8" tall. I can scan a small color image and put it on my website for you to see if they want it. No charge, I'll mail it if you want it.

You DO have a long memory! Yes, my cousin Alison.

I'm sure she would be delighted with it. Do you have my street address: it's on my sadly-neglected web site?

If you can't read "PDF", the patent document would be completely incomprehensible.

My point was that Adobe's PDF logo is language-independent.
