Bah! BestBuy online ads aren't printable!

[SunnyD]

Adobe DRM - NOT PRINTABLE.

I was going to print it out and PM Freelancer at one of the local stores, but it won't let me print it. Poopy.
And I don't get BB ads in the local sunday paper because we're technically outside of the sales radius.

Put your monitor on top of a flat bed scanner.. or take a picture with your digital camera.. or hold a piece of paper up to the monitor and scrape a crayon over it..

Hahahahaha! ROFL!

Unfortunately I don't think most BB competitors will PM a crayon copy of a BB ad...

You're kidding? PrintScreen is a system-wide feature and cannot be disabled 🙂 Try Alt+PrintScreen to grab the active window. Or use any scren-capturing utilities which can respond to alternative key combinations

Go ahead and try it. 🙂

(If you know what you're doing, you can make Windows do... or not do whatever you want)

Incidentally, Paintshop Pro's screen cap util works loverly!

I wonder if you can save it on your laptop, take the laptop into Best Buy, and show them the PDF file...

OmniPage can convert Pdf files to Doc files, if you're willing to pay for it 🙂

Lately, it seems that the Best Buy prices haven't been that great. Best Buy used to be more competitive - from a price standpoint several years back. Now, they are just peddling their items at retail prices. 🙁

I wonder why they created their ads with such a format? It's probably been 2+ years since I've used one of their circulars for a price match.

I don't think they were ever competitive, and and Acrobat allows them to just design ads and publish them both on paper and their Website without converting it to HTML (although it would be nice).

print screen works fine for me man.

At the bottom of the Best Buy screen, there is an option to download the .PDF version. When I do this, the print option still exists.
