I downloaded a number of PDF files from
http://web.archive.org/web/200503020...om/manuals.php

art of bending 1 & 2
24&36" finger brake
Power notcher

and so forth. Every pdf reader I have says there are errors in the
documents and will not open them.

Anyone have any luck with these?

No problem with any of those with either Acrobat 5.0.5 full or Acrobat

quickly quoth:

I downloaded them in November and they still come up for me (in
Acrobat Pro 6.) File sizes in Win2k are 3,967 and 5,865kb,
respectively.

I did have a problem downloading the first part of the manual, though.
I see 76kb for the first half and 3,923kb for the second.

I can't access your archive link today, either but that's probably
from the storm over HotLanta this morning. I'll give it an hour.
(Starband balks at bad weather around the uplink here or in the
downlink to GA.)

I just downloaded and opened the art of bending 1 & 2 with no problems. Use
both Acrobat 5.0 and Reader 7.07.
You probably got a bad download the first go and need to clear your cache or
rename the files before you down load them. I had this problem with some
huge Porsche manuals I was downloading and had to clear the cache several
times to get good downloads.

I was finally aboe to down load the art of Bending files.
Part two read fine, but part one is only 136K and Acrobat Reader says the file
is bad and can't be repaired.
Dave Foreman


I wonder what the problem is? I had no problem the first time I tried
each of them, and I previously downloaded the manual for my #2 hand
punch.

Anyway, if anyone is really stuck, drop me an e-mail and I'll send the
missing one. None of the ones I looked at is more than 5M, so they
download fast and should make it through e-mail.

Gunner,
I just downloaded the Art of Bending and the 24/36 finger brake manuals
and they opened fine on acrobat 6.x.

I had a lot of trouble with acrobat 7.0 locking up my machine at work
(XP) so I ripped it out and went back to 6.

Good Luck,
Bob

I downloaded all of those except the power notcher, and several
others (including both turret punches), and all of them were no problem
to read or to print. (Other than using up quite a bit of paper in
total)

I was using xpdf to print them.

What means did you use to download them? If you used ftp, you
need to be sure to set it to "binary" mode before downloading, or it
will be trying to "fix" end-of-line sequences.

Good Luck,
DoN.

should show the actual size of the downloaded files, and then run "sum"
