But more than<br \/>\nthat, and I bristle, fume.&nbsp; In a graduate seminar, for example, I<br \/>\nunderstand that we might read widely from an assortment of sources.&nbsp; I<br \/>\nthink of PDFs as supplements, add-on, and because they&#8217;re harder to scale to the<br \/>\nscreen&#8217;s dimensions, unlike fluid web texts with which I can enlarge the font, I<br \/>\nstruggle to read them on the screen.&nbsp; I can read scalable web texts on the<br \/>\nscreen; even when the font is wonky, it&#8217;s easy enough to enlarge it or otherwise<br \/>\nalter it for readability.&nbsp; Plus, I&#8217;ve been using Scrapbook for annotations,<br \/>\nhighlighting, and tabbed browsing in Firefox keeps all of it manageable.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>PDFs, depending on how they&#8217;re laid out, can be nearly impossible to read on<br \/>\nthe screen.&nbsp; And so I print them out.&nbsp; And I don&#8217;t mind printing them<br \/>\nout, especially when they come in the range of 1-3 per week, let&#8217;s say.&nbsp;<br \/>\nBut let&#8217;s just say they come in a wave of more than that&#8211;say 10 or 15,<br \/>\nhypothetically, of course.&nbsp; If that were to happen, now I become a<br \/>\nbook-making friggin print-house manager.&nbsp; I have to print, collate,<br \/>\narrange, run to the store for more printer cartridges, etcetera.&nbsp; It bumps<br \/>\nthe needle on my &quot;busy work&quot; dial into &quot;Pain in the Ass&quot; range.&nbsp; Warning<br \/>\nlights start to blink.<\/p>\n<p>I printed out 300 pages of PDFs last evening.&nbsp; The docs were copied one<br \/>\ncodex page to one PDF page, so gobs of white space make margin around a 5&#215;7<br \/>\npeninsula of text.&nbsp; Room for notations, I guess.&nbsp; But I can only print<br \/>\nthe PDFs single-sided, rather than double-sided, as I might do with a<br \/>\nphotocopier.&nbsp; Late Wednesday night, when I drove over to Kinko&#8217;s thinking<br \/>\nthey&#8217;d have a way of helping me switch 15 PDF files from my USB drive to a<br \/>\nphotocopier, through which I could churn them out back-front for under a dime a<br \/>\npage, it was another zinger to learn &quot;Um, no, we can&#8217;t do that.&nbsp; Print them<br \/>\nfrom the computers for 25 cents per page, but only if you&#8217;ve fewer than three<br \/>\nfiles.&quot;&nbsp; I didn&#8217;t even try to talk about it, just thanked him and walked on<br \/>\nout.<\/p>\n<p>These intermediary forms leave a lot to be desired, and yet I get the feeling<br \/>\nthat lots of folks see PDFs as the wondrous saving grace of print in a digitized<br \/>\nworld.&nbsp; PDF it, that&#8217;s easy.  Easier even than pre-determined course packs. In fact, the department photocopier is set up<br \/>\nto PDF with amazing efficiency, even emailing it to you when the conversion of copy is complete. As I think through this, I guess I see it as a convenience to<br \/>\nteachers and an inconvenience to students.&nbsp; It&#8217;s a kind of relocation of<br \/>\nthe photocopier burden or paper chase from one to the other.&nbsp; And I&#8217;ll be<br \/>\nusing three PDFed chapters\/essays with 205 students this spring.&nbsp; It&#8217;s as much a matter of threshold, especially when variforms of text are criss-crossing<br \/>\nin all these different spaces, the result of confusion among incommensurable<br \/>\nmediations.&nbsp; This morning when I opened yet another PDF&#8211;reading for a<br \/>\nMonday meeting&#8211;and found it, like to oh so many others to be a 1:1 scan, one<br \/>\npage per, and copied with huge smears of black toner-noise filling half of the<br \/>\nlower margin, I had an attack of PDF agitation.&nbsp; Since both print and<br \/>\ndigital texts are with us&#8211;all around us&#8211;and both necessary and pertinent, I&#8217;ll<br \/>\ncontinue to work on my hang-ups about PDFs, roll my neck until it pops, take a<br \/>\ndeep breath, and carry on reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>Without extensive qualification, this is a working-through-hang-ups kind of entry.&nbsp; Warning: check.
