Hi, This is strange. I use also the 8.1.2 version of Acrobat Reader on a MAC with OS 10.4. I have precisely the same problems als Frans mentioned. - I now realize that I encountered this already a longer time ago, but due to the fact that I download manuals directly from the tree, I forgot this. Kind regards Willi On Sep 28, 2008, at 5:21 PM, Stanley Hudson wrote:
I had the same problem with Safari. I am not a fan of Adobe installations and all the extra stuff that goes on with them, but installing Reader did fix it.

When I click on the showcase link, my Firefox 3.0.3 _downloads_ de PDF, doesn't show it in the browser. I then double click the downloaded file, Adobe Reader 8.1.2 starts up and if I click a link, it says "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found."
I deleted the Reader and downloaded/installed Reader 9.0.0 from the Adobe website. This time no error message but also no action when I click on any link but "quit"
Still, it must be something on my machine, since others don't have this problem.
Best

Willi Egger helped me get a minimal install working on my mac and I'm working on a collection of columns illustrated with pictures. It's been a while since I used Context so I want to download some basic manuals to refresh my memory and learn new things.
On my Windows machine I can view/navigate and download manuals from the http://www.pragma-ade.nl/showcase.pdf page, but on my mac this doesn't work. In the Safari browser, nothing happens if I click on the "manuals" link. In Firefox, the showcase PDF is downloaded and I can open it. After allowing the file to go full screen, I get error messages for the links "there was an error opening this document/ the file cannot be found', execpt on the "quit" link ;-)
Is there a simple thing I should change to make it work on the mac as well?
doesn't acrobat work? (the mac pdf browser is somewhat limited); best use acrobat reader as plugin
