Printing Results from the Alkalinity Calculator

Results from the on-line version of the Alkalinity Calculator, of course, are easily printed from any web browser.

Results from the stand-alone version of the Alkalinity Calculator may be saved as a PostScript file. PostScript is an industry-standard format for print imaging. The Postscript file then may be:

• printed directly to any PostScript-capable printer,
• converted to Portable Document Format (PDF) using Adobe Acrobat Distiller, then printed using Adobe Acrobat, or
• printed directly to a non-PostScript printer using Ghostscript or GSview.

The PostScript output from the Alkalinity Calcuator has been tested using both Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and GSview 4.4. No problems were encountered during these tests.

Mention of any particular software package in this document neither constitutes endorsement of that package nor guarantees that said software will function in the intended capacity.

• Adobe Acrobat -- PostScript to PDF conversion
• Ghostscript, Ghostview, and GSview -- PostScript interpreters

Many of these and other products for viewing and printing PostScript files are available on-line; some are free of cost. They are easy to obtain, set up and use. PostScript code generated by the Alkalinity Calcuator is relatively simple and should be understandable by all of these interpreters.
