PDF of Dr Lowe’s website

[helvella]

Many people are thankful for Dr Lowe’s website and its presence on the Wayback machine (web.archive.org/) that is available. However, the website has had some issues and archive.org is not always easy to navigate.

In order to make it more accessible, I have converted the whole website into one very large PDF document (it is the best part of 500 pages). The file is about 27 megabytes in size. (Quite obviously - not suited to downloading or use on a phone!)

dropbox.com/s/w7cjut689r1w1...

You can extract a single document, if you wish:

Find the pages (use the PDF page number as shown by Acrobat Reader DC or whatever you use for viewing). Then print that page range to a PDF printer. In Windows, you might choose Microsoft Print to PDF (standard in Windows 10).

When it prints, the requested pages will be saved as a PDF.

The document is a work in progress. I think the full content is present but I still want to create a Table of Contents. (As you can search in most PDF viewers, I’ll not add an index.) I will keep updating it until I am satisfied.

Added 21/12/2019:

As well as adding pages I had originally missed, I have tidied up the document and included a Table of Contents for the whole document. You can click on any entry in the Table of Contents and it will jump to the page.

It also includes a document map which can be shown in some PDF viewers - such as Acrobat Reader DC - which makes it very much easier to navigate round the 800+ pages.

Now about 57 megabytes.

The basic conversion is complete but has rough edges. Please do let me know of any issues you have or find.

Wow! Thanks for all your efforts! It sounds like it must have been very tedious to do, but very, very useful for us.

Not too terribly tedious.

Sounds a mammoth task and a very clever one ! I am such a dinosaur ! Thank you ...

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to Marz]

If you know how to do it, it is actually quite easy!

WinHTTrack to download it and Lyx to assemble everything. With the Print to PDF Firefox plugin to convert website pages into PDFs.

helvella,

Your quote above i.e.

"If you know how to do it, it is actually quite easy"

I'd like to pass this sentence onto the medical professionals in the hope that they, too, would find it 'easy' to prescribe and ease symptoms.

I send you a Gold medal helvella as it was a pity that after Dr Lowe's untimely death that his website had to be removed.

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to shaws]

It wasn't actually removed - I used a website downloader to get the content so I could create the PDF.

Thanks.... losing the plot!

Checking through, I realised that I had missed a lot of pages - which have now been included. The PDF is now about 50 megabytes in size.
