    Posted: 09 June 2008 at 12:03am
I tried to open the Swahili text and just got a blank screen, so then I tried to download it instead. It seemed to go fine, said the download was complete, but when I went to open it, Adobe said there was some kind of error, it said the file was damaged and could not be repaired. At first I thought maybe it was just a problem with my computer so I tried to download it again. My computer redownloaded it in 2 seconds flat (as I already had downloaded it once) and then came up with the exact same error message.

I have had the same problem with PDFs over certain ISP providers. I was able to download the file, but when I tried to open it, it gave me the same message that you reported. I then went to an FTP site, downloaded the same PDF file using an FTP application, and had no problems using the file. I complained to my ISP, and although they were reluctant to do so, they looked into it, and acknowledged that it was a problem their system had with handling of PDFs. They fixed that problem and I had no further troubles with PDFs. I suggest you try to contact your ISP and complain.
 
You should also make sure you have the latest version of the Adobe Reader, whatever its current name is, because with constant Microsoft security updates, anti-virus system updates, etc., what works today will not necessarily work tomorrow (or even later today!!).

I tried downloading the newest Adobe Acrobat, and that didn't seem to work. How do you download these files through an FTP application? I'm not quite sure what that is. Thanks for any help.
