Why do the facsimile reports not have convenient page breaks and other display related features of the former Call/TFR site?
Previously, facsimile reports were provided as HTML pages. HTML pages are viewed on the screen without regard to the number of lines per page; this meant that page breaks for printing had to be controlled manually so that only 88 lines of text would print on a page. This worked fine as long as you didnt change the size of the font while viewing it on the screen. If you changed the size of the font using the browsers View menu and then printed the page, the page would still break after the 88th line regardless of where that actually appeared. The new facsimiles are presented in Portable Document Format (PDF) where the page you view on the screen is very similar to the printed page. In a PDF browser, you can enlarge the viewing area temporarily to improve readability without affecting how the page is printed.
