Techie workarounds: how to make sure newsletter opens in Reader Jim's programs for businesses | Home Coach
Says
Requires: Adobe
Reader 6 or later which you can download
for free in either a Mac or PC version at http://www.adobe.com Instructions: Coach Says is a multimedia newsletter contained in a .pdf file designed for off-line viewing in full screen mode with the stand-alone Adobe Reader application. Already installed on most computers, just scroll to the bottom of this page and click an issue's thumbnail image to bring up this dialog box which presents you with 2 options: | |
 "Open with" or "Save file" dialog box on Mac |  "Open" or "Save" dialog box on PC |
As the newsletters take about 1/2-3 minutes to download
on DSL light (1,000kbps download speed), and the second issue has links
to hours of helpful video clips, Save
file>Save to Desktop is
a real time-saver. For later viewing, you will only need to locate
the CoachSays1i.pdf or CoachSays1ii.pdf icon
on your Desktop, and double-click it
to instantly re-open the newsletter in Reader:
 However, when you click an issue's thumbnail image in Safari on Mac, no "Open with/Save file" dialog box appears. Instead, the .pdf file immediately begins downloading, then automatically opens in your default application. So, if the .pdf file automatically open in Preview, just close Preview; then, go to your Home>Download folder, locate the Coach Says file, hold down the Control key as you click on the file's icon, and for "Open with" select Adobe Reader. This action will immediately open the file for you in Adobe Reader. Warning for both Mac and PC users: If you accidentally open the newsletter in your browser (Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, etc.), that will give you many a headache.

All set? Cool.
