Patent PDF tool/site Re: 3D printing, powder spreading

Hello,

I find this site really useful in dealing with the US patent office
documents:

http://www.pat2pdf.org/

Go to their site, enter the patent number. A PDF is created while you
wait, which can then be downloaded as with any PDF.

This way you don't have to deal with the "special" TIFF's that the
USPTO has as standard.

Hope this helps,

Ballendo
