Hi,

I have been enjoying the podcasts and written dialogue from the newbie series.  I downloaded the 1st seven lessons onto my MP3 player and was able to listen and read the dialogue whilst on the train to work...luv it.  However, I tried to download other podcasts from the newbie series.  The mp3 files are fine, but the PDF files do not display anything. Do you have any ideas?

 Thanks

Tim

I think the issue is the fact that the 7-day trial PDF files where generated using Adobe Distiller. However, subsequent files where generated using pdfTeX. I was able to convert the PDF files using deskPDF. Now I am able to view all PDF files on my portable viewer

On the new PDFs there is a small link in the footer pointing to an HTML-version of the text. Works much better on mobile devices.
