http://www.harborfreight.com/manuals/45000-45999/45198.pdf is just a
link to a PDF - installing Foxit will allow you to open it just as
easily as with Adobe Acrobat Reader, just without all the overhead
(slowdown) of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I use Foxit and it opened up instantaneously for me.

Wanna bet it doesn't open within an IE window? And it doesn't even
have the Adobe Acrobat tool bar
1 Maybe that's the cause for our
crossed communication.
Take a look at these two urls:
1. The item:
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=451
98
2. After clicking on "Download Product Manual":
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/manuals.taf?f=form&ItemID=45
198
3. The .pdf file..........in a NEW IE Window:
http://www.harborfreight.com/manuals/45000-45999/45198.pdf
It certainly is a new window, right? Are you saying this isn't the way it
should work?
Or is it possible that Harbor programmed their site in a way you haven't
seen it work before? Or maybe I've slept too many years <smile>?
Or maybe "what we have here is a lack of communication"?
Now look at the "Specification Table". What I want to do is highlight it
and save it to a file.....like I have always done before. However, I can
only copy and paste the text.....even when I select copy with formatting.
Looks like this (only part of it shown deliberately:
Weight
690 lb.
Capacity
6 Cubic Feet
Drum Diameter
28"
I can use the camera icon and then "paste special" and the entire table
will paste into whatever app I'm using.
There is an option when I right click in the app I'm using to "Export to
File", but as yet I haven't been able to export it into an acceptable file.
Try it!
That's fine! But, I'm just curious as to why I can't do it the way I did
before.
So, at this point, it's no big deal and if you folks don't want to spend any
more time or bandwith on it, that's fine with me. I have just a touch of
an obsessive-compulsive nature <smile>.
Regards,
Jim
