PDF Problem

[kanehoshi18]

Hi there,

The PDF files aren't working- when I download them they are only 23.9kb and when I try to open them the reader says "format error: not a PDF or corrupted".

Help!

Hey, guys!
I have been out of the country for three weeks. Just found out I can't see anything in the pdf files. In the past I opened pdf's on my Mac with Preview. I liked doing that because the pdf's weren't permanently on my computer, just opened as I needed them.

Do I need to reconfigure my downloads or something?

Yours truly,
Liz

Hello, Liz!!!!

How have you been???

I also had the same problem with the PDF, now you have to download Adobe to be able to see them. I had some issues doing that, though.

Anyway, enjoy your trip and take a good care of yourself!!!

Right. Download Adobe 9 and then the adobe system will require the download of japanese fonts.

[kanehoshi18]

Its not that!

Theres another problem. For example I got to a lesson, e.g. http://www.japanesepod101.com/learningc ... lesson_45/, then cilck on the lesson notes, try to download it but it comes out as a 23.9kb file.

Is there a limit on how many pdfs you can download when you are on a trial?

Hello kanehoshi18-san,

During the trial period you are only allowed to download 10 PDFs.

During the trial period you are only allowed to download 10 PDFs.

This restriction is recent, right?

I am writing to say I found a way of using the PDFs.

Also, the message saying there was an error in the file no longer appears.

I still would rather use Preview in my computer, but I guess I can get used to Adobe for the moment.

My best

Hi!
I am using Firefox. I downloaded Adobe Reader 9. In Firefox Preferences I dictated that pdf files should open with Adobe Reader. However, it still wants to open pdf in Preview. (I'm a Mac User) I quit Firefox and opened it. Still doesn't work. Can anyone help me?

Hello --

Adobe reader has worked fine for me in the past when viewing lesson notes, but today it is no longer working. So I installed version 9, but it also claims I need the "Japanese Language Support Package". I've searched all over the Adobe site and I can't find anything that sounds like this.

Does anyone know what the solution is? Where can I find this package that Adobe reader says it needs?

These also fail to work on the iPhone/iPod Touch.

Does anyone know how to convert these PDFs to the older version?

Thanks

Mina-san,

We are working on a Mac Preview friendly version of our PDFs. This version should also work well in the iPhone/iPod Touch browsers.

Please be patient, and we will make it available as soon as possible.

I found this on the Adobe site for Acrobat Reader 8. If you type "Font Pack Japanese" in the search field, this link should come up as one of the options:

It allows you to view Japanese characters from PDFs similar to the fix for Acrobat Reader 9
