Hi, My website has articles in a single column layout, but I want to have it so that the printed version is a different layout.  

My solution to this was to use the < link rel=alternate media=print href=page.pdf > but all I get is a blank page printed.  

This tag works if the alternate document is a word.doc or a text file or a html file and I read that it should work with PDF's - any ideas? The URL is http://www.zonejudo.com/ff/snippets/april01.htm <http://www.zonejudo.com/ff/snippets/april01.htm> Anton
