I cant seem to open the PDF files when I go into either the MSQ or DPI web sites and I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how they worked around it.

Large PDF's are best saved to your computer (right click & 'save as') then open them from there. It seems to be quicker & more reliable then opening them via the net.

I have had trouble before where they have not had the files linked correctly. Can you give me a URL of where you are having the trouble?

I have checked some on this page and they load fine

Make sure your Adobe reader is up to date, go to
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
and install the latest version.

Also have a look at the Large File handling page on the DPI site

Attempting to open large files (such as PDFs) within the browser window may lead to software problems such as your browser freezing or crashing.

Thanks Steve,

Downloaded the latest version of Adobe and yep it works. It appears my version had been deleted when I upgraded to windows XP recently. Anyway thanks again.
