I miss being able to download instructable PDF!


I am somewhat discourage to find that if I am not a pro member I could not download a complete PDF file of a whole instructable. I used to download instructables that I found very interesting and save them to replicate them at a later time. I am sorry to say that unless we are pro members we can't enjoy that little perk. I understand that in the difficult economic times that we live in hosting a website like this is not cheap but I believe that a very well known website like Instructables can generate  a considerable amount of profit from advertising. I would love to be able to download those PDF files and being able to print them. Please bring that back to us!
