Can you add poll about safari online issue (flash version) v/s safari pdf version and then go for future modification.
For me its always pdf is the best as my family members can read OFFLINE at any time.
You can add restrictions like printing, copying, modification not allowed to a pdf file if you are concerned about unauthorised use of subscription.
I strongly suggest for PDF VERSION.
Forum readers please reply your comments...

well, pdf protection can be easily cracked and flash files can be copied too, however not all ppl know this so I think flash version is good for them.
PDF version is better but there is no guarantee that no one will distribute it over net.

I think that the PDF version was way better than the current Flash one. It not only offered offline reading but archiving as well. Clicking and dragging the text in current version is pain to navigate through.
I vote for PDF version. Please bring it back Safari.

Forum readers please reply your comments... I Do agree with khyati. It becomes easier for family members to read the offline version. On the other note the Flash version is highly inconvenient one for reading, zooming and panning the article. I also strongly recommend rollback to older version of safari's online issues.

I would rate the new version of Safari's site as Bad and not user friendly.

PDF was always good, but I think they have stopped it because people used to download and share the same on other community sites. Downloading them for personal use and not sharing the PDF is fine. But when people like us forget our moral and start sharing the full versions on the Internet, they would have no other option left.

I am very much disappointed with the safari for their new online reading option on web. You can't read more than 15 lines & 1 column at a time. That's frustrating. To read one page one has to press control more than 100 times and move the courser again and again. That's not user friendly. The pdf version was really better. You can download the magazine first and can read while you are traveling. New version must have net connection every time.
I didn't expect this kind of effort from safari.
I believe that safari should go back to pdf version as soon as possible otherwise many readers like me will leave safari. I have decided if safari won't change this format I am not going to renew my subscription.
Can safari is going to provide me magnifying glass to read the full screen version on new flash player?

I agree with those people who says PDF is better. Flash needs internet connection everytime which might not be possible for everyone, specially living in small villages of gujarat. We all know the popularity of internet in gujarat where few people have access to internet and that would be the dial-up only so I think PDF version is the best one. At least user can download and read it later on too.

I am with you on this one. I will not renew my subscription if they continue with the Flash version.

hi SAFARI,
pls provide PDF verion as flash player implemention is very poorly done.
there are way to use and look content in flash much readable and user friendly..
SAFARI --kindly ask you Website company to improve this feature or else serioully you will see users leaving this site..
there are better way to protect magazine content privacy..i suggest you give consideration to all posts here..also remeber..
CHANGE is ALWAYS BETTER ONLY IF IT WORKS..
I am longtime safar fan and edicted to safari..for .many many years..i have hope that SAFARI will take action to solve these new issues..

I STORGLY SUGGEST PDF Versions Which can be printed out. This Flash version are pathetic to read online as well. This website is so inconvienient to read, zoom any damn article. Navigation of the pages SUCKS as well. I do not think that anything is good in this website.[/size]  ">  ">
