RE: Updates on Projects I am working on

ArcHive leverages the best features of Hive to prevent some of the worst effects of censorship, and it is one of the best developments on Hive IMHO. However, I tried to archive a scientfic paper using ArcHive and it did not preserve the images in the PDF. The images in a scientific paper are of critical import because they convey the data produced by research in charts, images of experiments, or the variety of effects research studies. They are also a primary vector of fraud, which is a plague in research today. Archiving scientific papers is also critically important because the Journal system is crippled by corruption and many important papers are prevented from being published. Some researchers are turning to Nostr to get their papers published and available to the public, so desperate is the need. ArcHive would be a far simpler and more effective means of publishing censored papers - but it doesn't preserve the images in PDF files.

Please fix this so that PDF's can be archived effectively, because many of the important documents that need to be archived are in PDF format.

Thanks!

Edit: I forgot to note the terrible suffering you have been experiencing and my admiration for your ability to put your head down and power through it. I have suffered injuries to my back that cause my work to be a source of chronic pain, and I deeply empathize with your suffering. I sincerely hope the surgery provides complete relief and enables you to experience life without chronic pain, and that after recovering you go on to enjoy life to a degree you never imagined was possible.

Thank you so much for reporting this, I will get it done. Cheers and best wishes

try again now, might work.

I'll do that.

Thanks!

I tried a PDF (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/279770368_Electrodermal_presentiments_of_future_emotions#read, which I downloaded and dropped on the appropriate text bar for PDF's), and it appeared to be complete with images in the preview. When I typed in my username, keychain popped up, I hit confirm, and then got the error 'missing post authority'. Is there something else I need to do?

Also, I tried an ordinary URL: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23109927/

I entered it into the search bar, clicked the (unlabeled) ArcHive button, and was asked if I wanted to publish it in two parts, which I affirmed I did, and then a popup recommending the ArcHive bookmarklet came up, and AFAICT the page was not archived. I tried the bookmarklet after replacing the old on, and that just returned me to the page where I enter the URL into the search bar. I tried several times with both pages, and appear to not have succeeded.

If there's anything I need to do differently, or if there's more information you require, please let me know and I will do anything I can to help.

Edit: added PDF URL in case it matters.
