I really don’t want to be such a boring person and complain, mainly because I really appreciate everything you do, but I’m having some trouble with the PDFs. At home, I use a Mac… I download the latest version of Acrobat, but I keep on seeing a message saying the file has some error and that I should communicate the person who created the file to correct the problem. Also, I can’t open the PDFs at work anymore, because there are no Japanese fonts installed. I have a monthly shift, I use more than 20 different computers and I simply cannot install those fonts in all those computers. I know we should always look forward and advance, so I’m not asking for going back to the previous method, but would there be a way of saving those files in a different way? Thank you for the help and I apologize for any inconvenience Hello, everyone!

New PDFs are showing up (some of you already have them) and will require an update to your Adobe Reader if you are not already using the latest version (9). You can download the latest version of Adobe Reader here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html The latest Adobe Reader will automatically download any necessary fonts. Some of the benefits of these new PDFs are: * Searching PDFs now work (it did not work in the old PDFs) * COPY / PASTE now works - this is very useful to people studying and trying to take notes elsewhere * The PDFs are now compatible with special accessibility software (ie. screen readers) * There are bookmarks already in place for you to quick-click **Mac users will need to use Adobe Reader 8 instead of Preview. **Linux users will also need to use Adobe Reader 8 Hello Everyone.

I have been away and now I found out, upon my return, that I can't open the pdf files, as JP stated, above! The pages are empty. I use Preview on my Mac to open pdfs. This appears to be a real problem. Will you update us on what progress is being made in this area? Thanks so much! Hello!
