   Howdy! Carroll,   
      
   You told me that You use DoPdf to make PDF files back in April 2011,   
   and I've been using DoPdf7 ever since.   
      
   I had a question about how DoPdf works, and went to their website and   
   didn't see a Contact Link.   
   I saw they have a newer version but I didn't d/l it, I just want to   
   ask them my question.   
      
   They do have a Forum, but I didn't want to register just to ask my   
   question.   
      
   I tried using the Search Box the Forum has to see if I could find what   
   I wanted to know but didn't have any luck, so I thought to ask here,   
   if You or anyone else could answer my question.   
      
   I notice when DoPdf saves a webpage that the HDD LED makes several   
   patterns of Blinking long after the window that has the progress bar   
   showing DoPdf is Printing the page has scrolled to the right side and   
   the window has disappeared from the screen.   
      
   My quesiton is:   
   Does DoPdf send the page to a Cache?   
      
   There are times I want to Close a Tab in Firefox where I've used DoPdf   
   to Save that page for me, and then use DoPdf to save what is on another   
   Tab in Firefox, but I'm not sure everything has been written to my HDD   
   so I wait until the LED blnking pattern quits before I Close the first   
   Tab to go to the next job I want to use DoPdf on.   
      
   It sounds like I'm part of the Fast Food Generation and want it Right   
   Now! but I just want to know if DoPdf Caches the first job so I can go   
   on and get another job for it to do.   
      
   TIA
