Downloading PDF's from this weblog

Opera has changed the way PDF files are downloaded from their website. All of the PDF files on this weblog were uploaded to Opera (a free service) for downloading by users of this weblog. You will now see the following page when you click to download a PDF file from this weblog:

Simply click on the "Download file" button to download the PDF file.

I have noticed, however, that in some cases attempting to download a PDF file from this weblog now gives an error message in Adobe Reader. I will try to get an answer from Opera as to why this is happening. I will attempt to resolve this situation as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

All PDF files on this weblog are readily accessible if you are using Opera as your web browser.

UPDATE - There is a solution:

To set Adobe Reader as the default program for a PDF download link when clicked in any web browser, follow these instructions:

1. Run your installed Adobe Reader program by clicking on its icon.
2. Click on Edit in the menu bar.
3. Then click on Preferences in the drop-down menu list.
4. Click on the Internet category on the left pane.
5. Uncheck / untick the check box for Display PDF in Browser (see image below).
6. Click OK when done.
7. Restart your computer.
   

The next time you download a PDF file, it will automatically open in Adobe Reader instead of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari or any other web browser.
