Here's how I do it. It's kinda' a long process, but really simple.
- When you're on this page, right click on the Blank Datasheet link, hit "save link as". When the save window thingy pops up, rename the file from "Blank_Datasheet.pdf" to "Blank Datasheet.jpeg" Click the "Save as type:" drop down menu menu directly below the filename, and select all "All files". Hit save.
- Now you'll need GIMP 2 to edit it, which can be found here. Download the latest version, install it, and all that crap.
- Now you can open the Blank Datasheet.jpeg with GIMP. When you try to open the Blank Datasheet.jpeg, you'll get some funky pop-up window asking you something. Just click the Import button.
- edit it to your hearts desire, and save it as a .jpeg.
That might be kinda' hard for a technotard to follow, pics anyone? I can take this one step further and tell you how to turn that .jpeg into a .pdf document if you want.
EDIT: Jpeg to PDF This process is really simple:
- Download PDF reDirect from here. Install it, and view the readme so you understand the basics of how it works.
- Open the data sheet .jpeg hit File, then Print, and select the PDF reDirect Pro v2 printer.(depending on which version you downloaded, it might not contain the word Pro)
- This should open up the actual PDF reDirect Pro v2 program. Under the merge list, there should be something like: Printer Output 022508421 (145kb). What that says doesn't really matter, it's just the datasheet.jpeg.
- Look at the PDF Output Filename. Name the filename whatever you want, and hit save.
Now you have a handy little .pdf datasheet.
