Unforch, FF4 and pdf's are currently not speaking to each other very well.  
So I fed the link to Okular directly, worked a treat.

But those prices are some serious gouging IMO.  I don't know the exchange 
rate, but the last time I did, it was over 2 dollars a pound, so that price 
is patently outrageous.  Almost 4x what I would pay here.

I think this calls for some serious google-fu.

I have been getting most of my stuff from an outfit over in Ohio, but I'll 
have to go to the shop & get their catalog.

Yeah, <http://www.hemlytool.com>  You can dl and print their current 
catalog, which does contain prices in USD.

I see the prices have risen since my 2009 catalog, but these guys never 
seem to be out of stock, and for shipping here in the states, I have had 
the order fall off the passing UPS truck the next day at least once.  But 
even after import duties etc, those prices have got to be better than your 
link.  But obviously no where near as instant to your location.  That's a 
bummer.  But perhaps you can take that catalog and beat them into a better 
price schedule with it?
