(What gray button??) But I'm about to try a search, which is the only real reason to have it digitized, and for the very reason you described: its portability. Wish me luck!

To print as pdf files, install a virtual printer that saves pages as pdf files.

The "complete New Yorker" is also a big disappointment -- using its on proprietary options for movement within, very "clunky" if you ask me. Its only benefit is that it is "complete" -- but it seems to have been developed by someone who wanted to make it as difficult as possible to print, copy, or maneuver within its pages.
