| 831598 | 2009-11-19 09:23:00 | Hi all - I send out a club newsletter in .pdf format (I do the original in Publisher then convert the file into pdf to send by email). One particular member 'can't' open the file. At the last meeting I recommended he download Foxit Reader, which he has done. He now tells me he STILL can't open the file. What are the likely reasons? I asked what his OS is - he thinks it is Window... Other than going to his house to look at the system/machine - is there anything else I could do to help him solve the present problem?:crying Thanks for you help - as always! :) |

As far as desktop software goes though, I usually recommend Sumatra PDF (blog.kowalczyk.info), which went version 1.0 a couple of days ago. Not sure if it'll help though, sounds like he might have software issues. |
