Dear Micheal, I have just uploaded the pdf to scribd and the pdf you see above is converted by scribd into embeddable document format.

It seems worse than useless, because you have neglected (or dont know how to use) the options available to you. In the top pain (right where scribd is written) there is a slider that could be used to increase the size of the text. In the bottom pane there are several options to download the document in pdf, ms word, plain text or mp3 format. So you don’t have to ask me to post the link to download the document. You could just do it right away and getting it by clicking on the document format of your choice.

That was certainly not the case and Statsaholic was actually using a browser hack to circumvent the API, in order to avoid paying API usage fee.

There is no API for graphs; Statsaholic was and still is hotlinking to the graphs, which is simply bandwidth leeching.
