Initially, this includes all pdf instructions through 2000, and we hope to receive newer instructions at appropriate (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jul-03, to lugnet.announce.brickshelf) !!

| (...) Actually, we plan on exporting every page of the pdfs to jpegs, similar to the scans for online viewing. We are still working out the bugs in that process, but I diddn't want that to delay getting the pdf's themselves online. KL (21 years ago, 17-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish)

But I noticed a lot of the old technic sets (88-- series etc) aren't there - are TLC biased against technic??? :( Thanks Kevin, Brickshelf becomes more (...)

| Could someone reference a particularly good example of a pdf instructional manual? I just downloaded #6047 and it doesn't look particularly good to me: it's quite blurry and half of each page is empty space. -- Hop-Frog (21 years ago, 18-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

| (...) Hey, Mr. Loch, thank you for this amazing resource that Lego and Brickshelf have had with us. Is really fantastic, but... please, keep the PDF in your page with jpegs too, because fast connections can download in one step instead in 100 (for (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish)

I think it is a pretty safe bet that these things were created in Adobe Illustrator, and that no 3D modeling was used to (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish, FTX)
| | | | | Re: PDF Instructions!

| (...) That one does look and print very nicely. I would guess it's pretty much the original file from which TLC itself prints its own manuals -- I compared it to the available scans on Brickshelf and it looks the same. Such files would be an AMAZING (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

| (...) Weird - just for kicks I tried zooming WAY in to the image (2000%). The vertical lines aren't actually vertical. I wonder if that was intentional, or 'just happened'... MANY thanks to LEGO© for providing these to the fan community! JohnG, (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

| Hi Kevin, with the new feature of splitting large galleries into multiple pages of 48 pics, I noticed a little bug today: If the gallery contains subfolders (e.g. 3 folders), the first page shows these 3 folder thumbnails and the first 45 gallery (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish)

| (...) I just fixed several bugs related to this feature. The fix for this specific problem is somewhat ungraceful, it now shows the first 48 files and the first 48 folders, then the next 48 of each and so on. At least there won't be any missing (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish)
