I have just printed out the 3 Supplements from the web site given
above.  The files were downloaded on A RiscPC using NetSurf v2.6
and unzipped to get the 3 PDFs.  Then using Uniprint v3.20 in its
/launch/, not printing, mode the PDFs were passed to my networked
PC with WindowsXP and printed in using Adobe Reader X (ie, 10). 
The default print dialogue settings were OK. I now have 6
perfectly printed A5 page pairs which can be folded as 6 duplex
pages in the right sequence to add to the 'Archive'- printed
booklet.

You should be able to follow this route with Vista and
VirtualRpc.  There is no need to use !PDF; Adobe Reader has an
extremely flexible print dialogue which is much better than
anything I have come across in RISC OS.


Brian.
