* Opened* Can you open this?

It locked up my work computer so I tried at home. It locked up my browser here.

Nm, hadn't finished downloading... opened fine.

 

[zokudu]

Opened fine for me.

 

[lxskllr]

Opens fine on Ubuntu using Document Viewer.

I'll try uploading it tom my dropbox for you.

I now have access to your backdoor and your hard disk

At home:
Locked up Firefox
IE immediately went to Done without downloading anything.
Opera and Netscape both say downloading but I get no progress bar.

It's a 26MB PDF file. Depending on what version of acrobat you have you may /may not have a transfer progress bar if you just click on that link. Right click, save as and save to desktop. When finished you can open it locally - much faster!

I had a progress bar here in my classroom. I also was able to right click download as you described that worked well too.

Heres another upload of it. See if this works for you Olds.

Looks like Chrome is going to open it. <fingers crossed>
It worked!

Aww crap, another computer thread? WTH do you think this place is... no wait...

Heh, I've my own little problem to fix. I have a hard drive that isn't recognized. Oh the bios sees something there, but I get a "hard drive failure, press F1 to continue". Of course the drive is invisible to the OS.

So I did what I usually do, and pray to the computer gods and toss the sacrificial drive into the freezer.

Hopefully that will work so I can pull data off of it. This is a main reason I went with WHS and auto backups.

And now I have successfully hijacked your thread.

foxit, ftw.

 

[shortylickens]

Go damn!
Foxit is so much more awesomer than Acrobat.

 

[Rubycon]

foxit, ftw.

Tried it, hated it.

 

[zokudu]

Good job Olds. Also Chrome has a built in PDF reader maybe theres something wrong with your PDF reader. May want to check that out.

I also use PDF-Xchange

Using Firefox + Foxit? I have big time issues with that combo if I have it setup to open in the browser. I end up having to kill the Foxit process.

I stopped viewing PDFs in browser. I prefer having them open in a standalone application.

I was dealing with some large PDFs a couple days ago and what I found was that the whole PDF thing would lock up for about 30 seconds when trying to load in firefox. Then it was viewable. If I click save, it doesn't say it's doing anything but bandwidth monitor shows increased bandwidth. When bandwidth monitor drops to 0, a pdf file magically appears in the download folder.

I put a external backup hdd on my wifes laptop. She keeps unplugging it so she doesn't have to listen to it spin up...

I think that's what happened to me. I do keep adobe on the machine because USPS wants it to print postage.

On a high latency connection that's the only way to do it. The first page or two may already be cached but trying to skip to another part is painful. I'd rather download a copy and have instant access.

I am going to have to 3 finger salute Firefox, it's locked up tight.
It locked up Netscape too.
Opera finally opened it.
