There have been several enhancements made to the way document images are handled on the new web site.
- You are now able to view document details and the document image together on the same page.
- The image display now supports "phone book" style paging. This allows you to page from a given document
to the documents preceding and following the document.
- You can jump from a given document image to other documents on the system without redoing your search
- You are now able to download and/or print an entire document, or selected pages from a document
In order to provide the new features, downloading and printing on the new Web Site is a bit different than the original
SalemDeeds site.
- Downloading and printing the image is now accomplished from the image/detail page.
- From the image/detail page, select the document pages (or the entire document) that you wish to download and/or
print.
- Once the pages are selected (and are showing in the selection list), press the "Download/Print" button on the
left of the page. This will initiate the download process.
- Your browser should then ask you whether you wish to view or save the document. Select whichever action you
prefer.
If you have any problems which the download process, please refer to the View/Print Problems sections of this page.
