I use an iPad for Stovebolt and lately, I cannot open any PDF’s. In the past, I couldn’t view it but if I downloaded it, I could open and view it. Under download (file) the PDF is there but it won’t open.

Anybody else experience this?

Phil, if you're talking about attached PDF files, and the "VIEW PDF" click box, that hasn't worked for me on my laptop for quite a while. Always need to download them to view. I think it's a "feature". frown

Doesn't work for me either. It recall it worked when we started the Tech Tip forums. HAD TO ... smile Since we are having problems with images, I figured it was an extension of that same problem. Boooooooo.

It definitely worked when we started the Tech Tips. On my computer, I could open it either way but on my iPad, I had to download it, then it would open. I haven’t tried it on my computer but I will, then report.

Yeah, the photos have been wonky also. Lately, I have to verify that I am human, before they will open.

Well, I finally got to my computer to try viewing and downloading the PDF files and like Kevin said the viewer is not working but I can download it to view.

On my iPad, it appears to download, but it won’t open. I suspect the download didn’t work as the file size is much smaller (6kb) than the original (1.3mb).

If I’m having problems, that means anybody with an iPhone may be having the same problems.

Maybe do a double check? Try downloading and viewing from a different site?
