Just wondering what the best way to grab the Hanzi out of the transcript on the Qing Wen PDF?

I am trying to use my firefox plugin to convert the text to traditional but when I copy and paste or try to save as a text file, the Hanzi is displayed as random chars.

Thanks.

Two answers to your question:

1. On the bottom of each page of the PDF are the words [Text Version]. Click on this, and you are taken to a CPod page from which you can copy and paste.

2. BUT, you can download a Traditional version of the PDF. If you haven't selected the option, this download won't be showing. Go to any Lesson page, and click the gray cogwheel on the right hand side. Either select Traditional characters OR after clicking the 'show extra options' button, choose to show both Simplified and Traditional Download links. Scroll to the bottom and press save. You will be taken back to the Lesson page, but you will have to wait a couple of seconds for the page to refresh again before you see the download link for the Traditional PDF.

Hi go_manly

Thanks for the info. I have all my settings set to Traditional and have done for some time...perhaps its a bug with the new dashboard?!?

Tech Team FYI - I was looking at the describing fear Qing Wen.

I will try the send to text file as you suggested.

Thanks again

But if you choose "show extra options" and elect to show BOTH, you WILL see both Simplified and Traditional download links (but on the lesson page only, not on pages showing lists of lessons).
