hi, im new to the forum and see that people have different problems so if i repeat something please dont flame me.

ive been downloading the chinese and french files. they download. they open. but they are blank.  the pages exist, and are categorized in the "drawer" feature of apple's "preview" program. in some instances, as is usually the case with the chinese documents, only the first page actually has content. with the french francophone file, only certain random pages appear.  oftentimes there is nothing at all.
if anyone has had similar problems dont hesitate to email me with suggestions.  or if anyone has a working file and the time and inclination to send it to me as an attachment that would be greatly appreciated. 

my email is sonovthegun@yahoo.com

i will check this post regularly.  thanks
dg

Well, when I downloaded the files the first time, I thought I only had two pages, but if you keep scrolling down all the pages are there. It is just the way 'Preview' displays it. Try to change the view of the drawer from 'Table of Contents' to 'Thumbnails'. What version of OSX are you using?

Cheers!
