Photocopying National Archive documents
« on: Sunday 16 March 14 22:43 GMT (UK) »
Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to photocopy National Archive documents. I've paid for a couple but I can't find any way to photocopy them.  Thanks.   :)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean?

I assume you have received paper documents from TNA?

So what is the problem with photocopying them?

When I bought a will from the Archives site, I had to print it off,
 and did so no bother.
 One does not buy the actual item, it just comes up on screen and then one can print it off. Did you try to save the copy,  and then print it from your PC

 Re the will.... No one couldent even read the wording, so eventualy it was binned !
 only cost £3- 50  tho'    Dolly

Thanks for your replies. I have some undecipherable bits on them too.  I've downloaded the latest one but when I try to right click the mouse to print there's no drop down menu at all and if I change to another tab it disappears and I have to click on the file again to read it.   :)

  Deoxy.  I once had trouble with this site too. I wrote to them, and they emailed me the details
    of the said article. Dolly

Thanks. I might see if they could do that.  I've just tried opening it with the picture gallery and it comes up saying I can't do that and I can't remember how I changed it from the Pdf viewer so I can't see it at all now. Not having much luck....   ???

Aaah!

So you are trying to PRINT the document?! ;D

Rather than photocopy a document?

That's why I was confused! ;D
