SITE HELP
How to use the Diaries of Despair website
Link colours - an explanation
This website uses two link colours, light blue and yellow.
Light blue links are normal web links. These may link to other
pages within the site or to external sites (external site links
will open in a new window).
Yellow links open a PDF format file, which will open in the 'PDF
Viewer' (a new browser window). Please note that when a file is loading there is
a time lapse between loading the file and then showing the relevant
page requested - this results in a blank screen being shown for
a number of seconds. Browsing will be quicker if the 'PDF Viewer' is kept open while navigating the site (it will automatically come
to the front when required).

PDF files
To publish the report and leaked documents in an efficient way,
copies of the documents have been grouped into four main PDF's.
- Diaries of Despair report - report.pdf, 146 pages, 1.1MB
- Leaked study reports - studies.pdf, 558 pages, 4.3MB
- Other leaked documents - docs.pdf, 114 pages, 2.6MB
- New Home Office leak - newdocs.pdf, 216 pages, 5.4MB
These PDF's include bookmarks, plus an index or contents page,
for quickly accessing the relevant document/page within a PDF.
The Diaries of Despair report (report.pdf) is only available in
PDF format. It includes cross references (PDF links) to the supporting
material contained in the original leak documents (studies.pdf and
docs.pdf). Downloading these three files enables offline viewing
of the complete report and documentary evidence using PDF's only.
The new leak of documents (newdocs.pdf) is available in PDF format
and can be browsed on or off-line. References to these documents
that are made on the pages of this website are linked in yellow
and load in the 'PDF
Viewer' (a new browser window).
Three further PDF's are provided for printing purposes:
- Futile Atrocities - futile.pdf
- Legal Battle - legal.pdf
- Guilty Government - guilty.pdf
These PDF's do not contain cross references (PDF links) to supporting material in other
PDF files, but are simply intended as an easy way to print the document
for offline reading. Links to supporting material for these documents
are only provided in their respective HTML versions available on
the website.

Printing
The best printing results will be achieved by printing the PDF
file version, where available (see PDF files
for a list of the available PDF's). If pages are printed directly
from the website, please ensure that the left and right print margins
in your browsers print settings are set to 15mm or less, otherwise
some cropping my occur.
The Action PDF includes a leaflet for double sided printing/photocopies
on A4. When folded this leaflet becomes a four-sided A5 leaflet.

Viewing PDF files online
When you view PDF files on the Web, several aspects of their display
depend on which browser is used and whether the Web server can deliver
PDF documents one page at a time. Page-at-a-time downloading is enabled
on the Diaries of Despair website, which should mean that only the
page you are requesting is delivered to your browser, rather than
the complete PDF, which may run to many MB. Most commonly
the PDF will load in the browser window ('PDF Viewer') with the page requested.
However it is also possible that the PDF will launch Acrobat itself,
and that the complete PDF is downloaded before a page is viewed
(for more information visit www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html).
Flash
The site includes a Flash introduction. Simply press the skip button
or click on the introduction to enter the site without re-playing.
