G'Day All,
Serving PDF files can be tricky. For the last three years I've had product
brochures for Umax scanners (ex Umax Wholesaler in Australia) served via
the web. The best test of whether you wil have problems is to read the
file back from the server share on the original machine you created the
PDF on (ours was a Mac). These PDF's have been on OzEMail (3rd largest ISP
is AUS), iinet (7th), and three company owned linux machines. We invarably
found that saving to the ftp or web site occaisionally created anomalies -
fonts were'nt 100% or would not display on PC, people couldn't browse them
in-browser, and sometimes even messages about being a corrupt PDF.
Read the file back from the web site, and tell IE to load Acrobat
separately (no browser integration).
If these both work, things are looking up.
Is anyone having this problem with Acrobat Reader 5.x? It seems a lot more
stable in these situations.
Regards,
Craig Foster

I checked into this and can confirm the same problem. It appears large,
multiple page, pdf files do not display correctly when hosted on e-
smith. Does this happen for anyone else? Next... anyone know why or
better yet have a solution?
