Techie workarounds: how to make sure newsletter opens in Reader Jim's programs for businesses | Home Instructions
for techie workarounds:
My Coach Says newsletter is designed to be viewed via the stand-alone Adobe Reader application in FULL SCREEN MODE. To access all features, please avoid opening this PDF inside your web browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.): ·All browsers prevent Full Screen Mode. ·And when you click a link in my PDF document to view a web page, then you click the Back Button to return to my newsletter, the browser will have to reload the PDF which can take 1-3 minutes. Ugly! But when you open my PDF document in Adobe Reader and click a web page link, your browser finds the web page while the PDF stays open in Reader: you can click back-and-forth between your browser and Reader without having to reload the PDF. Solution: resist habitually just clicking an issue's thumbnail image or link at the bottom of this web page. Instead, do this: PC: right click the link. Mac: hold down your Control key while you click the link. Then, from the drop down menu: PC: select Save target as... Mac: select Save Link As... (except in Safari where you must select Download Linked File As ...) This will bring up the Save As: dialog box. PC: for Save in: browse to your Desktop and click Save. Mac: browse to your Desktop and click Save. Once the file is downloaded, you will have a new icon on your Desktop which looks like this:  Finally, find and double-click that CoachSays1i.pdf or CoachSays1ii.pdf icon. This action should open the newsletter in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application. (Mac users: drag the CoachSays1i.pdf or CoachSays1ii.pdf file icon onto the Adobe Reader icon on your dock to avoid opening the file in Apple's Preview application.) Requires: Adobe Reader 6 or later which you can download free in either PC or Mac version at: http://www.adobe.com All set? Cool. For the first two issues of Coach Says, here are links you want to right click: | |
