File Viewing/Downloading Problems

[dtstanton]

I have yet to successfully view or download any files from undeer the Files tab. When I do d/l one of the .PDFs, they say the files are corrupted and can't be opened. When I click the Download button, I get a blank screen.

What gives? I'm using FireFox 15, and the latest Adobe reader.

Thanks,
Dale

Hi Dale, I just did a download and the file downloaded and opened just fine. Maybe you have a FireFox setting that is protecting PDF file formats, or some other setting that restricts downloads.

Since I do not have FireFox, I use Chrome, all I can tell you is that the site seems to be doing downloads just fine.

Perhaps if you post which file your trying to open someone else can double check with FireFox. Or try another browser.

Hope you get the file you need.

Thanks, Jim. I'll look into it. Strange. Never had any problems with any other PDF on the 'net - or any Download functions.

Tried with Chrome, and had no problem with it either, Jim. Thanks.

I found my problem, if anybody else here uses Linux Ubuntu. I had to enable the "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications" extension. Once I did, it works fine now.

Great going Dale. There are times when this site does updates and there may be problems loading pages then, but that is as it is anywhere. Before I make any changes, other than using a different browser, I give websites time to finish updates.

One thing for sure, you should be safe when surfing the internet.
