Thanks for the post. Too bad for the "nervous nellies" who are still afraid of the Internet.
True, but once burned you probably exercise caution. Yet, just being on the Internet can be fraught with danger and privacy issues. You just have to know how to be cautious without being pious about it.
Here is how the file was made. I used Apple's Pages word processing app that has some semi desktop publishing aspects. Once made, I selected print and instead of printing to paper I chose "Save as PDF" which basically captures the print images on the Mac as a file. The PDF format is pretty universal. It's just a document, not an app with any self-viewing built-in app properties. You need a viewer to see it. Most browsers now can view PDF documents without needing to download them to your computer. On the Mac the Preview app which is part of the System software will view it once downloaded. Adobe Acrobat is another. A document, once downloaded, is just a way to permanently capture information that can be fleeting on the Internet as it was previously published on a website that got deleted.
RV.net does not support posting PDF documents similar to posted JPEG photos. So there is no way to make it available here in the desktop published form.
The tutorial document is posted in two places, the Pursuing Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches group on Facebook with people who have repeatedly requested the recipe, and on my Public access folder on Dropbox for those that choose not to be on Facebook because of their fear of being singled out amongst the billion members for attack yet don't realize every time they Google or Bing something, post in a forum, or request information online they are being databased and singled out for targeted advertising. ;)
