Except in the print industry where it works absolutely fine on Mac and 
Windows platforms.

More FUD from Fabian as he demonstrates his complete and utter lack of 
knowledge of the Windows platform and uses his ignorance as "evidence" 
that the Linux Desktop is superior.

You "forgot" to mention linux, where Postscript is the default printing 
language
All printing is done as postscript and then converted to the printing format 
needed for the actual printer if it does not understand PS

Well I would have mentioned Linux had it been relevant but all the RIPs 
we've dealt with at print companies have been Windows based.

For example:
http://download.support.xerox.com/pub/docs/WF_8265/userdocs/any-os/en/701P30700_WFC_RIP_QSG.pdf

http://www.xerox.com/downloads/usa/en/d/dc12_EX12.pdf

In case you don't know what a RIP server is:
http://www.sepialine.com/2013/10/24/blog-rip-servers-101-heck-rip-server/

So there we have one of the largest professional printer manufacturers 
printing millions of pages of high quality images from tiny booklets to 
entire wall coverings via a Windows based RIP server using postscript.

Your arse must be red raw by now yet still you come back for more!

It also failed with .WMV and .WMA, even though I'm a big fan of .WMA Pro
myself as it provides exceptional sound quality. I do agree that
Microsoft makes significant efforts to replace standards with their own
and it's one of the reasons I encourage people to use open standards
rather than whatever the operating system itself pushes. It's just too
bad that these open formats (other than .FLAC anyway), rarely get
hardware support.

Postscript printers are ancient.  Very few printers are sold with 
Postscript.

MS is its own corporation.  What did you expect?
But registry cleaners and repair programs are nothing more than snake oil.

I expect an adherence to established universal standards, like that
practiced by all other companies.

If Microsoft wants to introduce other standards, it should follow
the accepted and legitimate channels and not use its monopolistic
position to enforce whatever it desires.

MS is the defacto standard on the desktop.

And if a car company wants to include a new feature they should get approval
from not just safety organizations and the like but some group making sure
it is not too good and thus does not hurt competition?

LOL!!!  I'm sure he thinks that linux is a standard, yet it is far from 
any standards.  Mostly their own adhoc add ons and extensions that no 
other vendor uses.

No such standards other than the corporate laws in place.

The do go through those channels.  Most often they bring to the table new
ideas for IEEE committees, ISO, and ANSI committees.  These ideas are 
then discussed.  If the ideas are approved then the committees write the 
new standards.
And another fact... they don't have a monopolistic position.
Yet Apple adds on to their platform as well, so do you think they also 
have a monopolistic position?

The whole thing can be scripted.

Use curl or wget to retrieve and PDF command line tools to convert
and finally a command line email client to send.

Easy as pizza pie.

There are several PDF tools and dozens of email clients available.

Again, scripting with ffmpeg and associated tools.

Because I am not well versed in video, I can't be too specific.  Some
options might not be possible, but that's just a guess.

The script, either bash or perl, is an extremely powerful and flexible
method.

I'd need to study this a bit, but an initial assessment would be curl/wget
in conjunction with perl HTML modules (and perl scripting).

CPAN (www,cpan.org) is there for the taking.


Linux does not provide "turnkey" solutions.  But it has fundamental tools.
Just add your intelligence and creativity and anything becomes possible.

This is great if you want to do ONE item... but then, of course, the effort
to do so is FAR greater than to do it manually. What I show allows me to do
it with anything I can print (though, of course, some things lend themselves
to this more than others). "Nobody" suggested he would sent it as text.
Well, I can do that very easily as well: <https://youtu.be/hAcHF_IO34I>.
Notice how OS X even makes an intelligent guess as to what text I might want
- and it is rarely wrong (which does not mean never!)

Owl, on seeing this, did come back with a different task: to go to
allrecipes.com and save them all as PDFs. Why one would want to do this I am
not sure, but it could be modified to, say, download all chocolate chop
recipes or something and, hey, it was a fun task so I took it on. Made a
number of videos on it and shall not bore you with a ton of them, but here
are a couple where I show a couple versions of the methods to do so.

<https://youtu.be/IfZIa6PqRFo>
<https://youtu.be/_J4PppWroWY>

My solution was faster than anything Owl came up with (though my 'net speed
is also faster and that makes a difference!), but the PDFs I generated ALSO
allows me to select the text as text and look up terms, do word counts, do
Google searches, etc. All the "normal" stuff I can do with pretty much any
text.

Unlikely. You would have to have a file format which "knows" where the
cursor is, would have to "know" where windows are located, etc. And then for
the highlighting it would be truly "arbitrary" - not tied to actual useful
content. I mean arbitrary to the computer but meaningful for the user
(otherwise what is the point!)

OS X has those, too, but it also has other scripting technologies (I show
some in the above videos on the recipes).

Might work. I did it with a now ancient version of Filemaker Pro. It makes
it very, very easy but is not a cheap program.

OS X has those same UNIX tools (it is, after all, an actual UNIX) but *also*
has a lot more. If you are looking at just the command line tools, though,
Linux is likely the better choice: it is cheaper, often faster, and
generally comes with a wider suite of command line tools (you can get them
for OS X, but they are there out-of-the-box on Linux).

Why just one item?  It should be completely open ended.

I probably do not fully understand the problem and, sorry, but I will
not view youtube videos.

Anyway, I frequently use perl scripting with HTML parsing modules and regular
expressions to abstract mailing addresses from various on-line lists.  It
took a while to develop but it does the job well.

The problem with the web is a lack of uniform formatting (and of course
the idiotic javascript).  But much can still be automated with simple
tools.

Basically if I am at a recipe or lesson plan or whatever I want to be able
to easily email it to someone as a PDF *with* whatever notes I want to add
to it. 

Heck, since I emailed you before I did something similar with a screenshot.
Earlier today ran into a bug and made a quick video showing it to the
developer. He got back to me already (on a Sunday no less!) and asked about
some permissions (one from a system that is working and one from one that it
is not). I got the screen shots and made quick edits. The edits were done
right in Mail. Could have done them in Adobe Reader or Preview or the like
and then saved or copied them and brought them to Mail. Would not have been
the end of the world but I like the more streamlined workflow.

I suspect you can work with such scripting better than I can. I have done
some of that but an hardly an expert.

Sure... I have things such as the ability to select text and get word counts
(I needed that for a job) or select a word and get a definition, a Google
search, a definition from the urban dictionary, directions to an address,
and much more.

no, Win 10 loads itself onto Win 7, Win 8, Win 8.1 computers *WITHOUT* 
owners permission, (via automatic updates) and shows hints all the time 
to get owner to try it.  Once installed you only have 30 days to 
uninstall it, then you can *NEVER* go back.

It could crater your system, there is no media player.

Stay with Win 7, turn off automatic updates, uninstall the programs that 
automatically fool you into win 10.  One is GWX.exe.

If Linux advocates ruled the world:

Every car driver would need to know the complete ins and outs  and 
intricacies of their car before they are allowed to drive it. You'd be 
required by law to carry a full diagnostic system and could be stopped 
by the police at any time and asked to demonstrate it working.

If you wanted to use your fridge, you would need to know precisely how 
refrigeration systems worked.

If you wanted to watch TV you'd need to take a courses in broadcast 
technology and production, radio transmission and reception and digital 
electronics.

If you wanted to watch a DVD.... well you get the idea.

Meanwhile, in the real world, most of us want to turn on a PC, type a 
document and get our jobs done.

Substitute the word "airplane" for "car" and you will be describing
the current everyday practice across the globe. 

Would you be a passenger on an airplane with a MS Windows pilot?
