Hi all, As I've said, I'm a bit of a computer tech and decided to try and help you guys and girls out that might be having problems with their Java settings and pdf files. I personally use Opera to browse the net and don't have any problems. But then again, I've had my fights with the internet. ;P Anyway, these steps will seem a little convoluted, but they will allow you to download those items that you'd really like to have, but don't really want to ask others to download and send to you. 1. First we need to turn off the automatic opening of PDF files in internet Explorer (or whatever) Each browser has it own way, but here's a work around... Follow the directions on this page. It will show you how to set this up in Adobe Reader. (Opera allows you to turn this off in it's own preferences - Ask me how, if you'd like to know that one) http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/06/17/disable-pdf-from-opening-in-web-browser-ie-firefox-opera-safari/ 2. Open canon in whatever browser you like, until you get to those dastardly download buttons. 3. Right click the page and select "source" or "view source". Hold down ctrl and hit F for the find dialogue box. type in .pdf (Yes the full stop too), it will highlight the file we want to download. 4. now copy the address including everything between the " s. 5. Paste it in the browser, but make sure you include the domain.. http://cp.c-ij.com before the pasted information. Press enter and wait. :) I know this is really long, but it might some for the time being. I'll see if I can find another "backdoor" to make it even easier... like a mirror or something with **real** links.
