Ummmmmmmm

Has anyone else in your class run into this? Have you (or your instructor) raised this with Oracle?

I regularily get .pdf files from Oracle and use them on a wide variety of OSs, including Linux. Most have no issues. Occasionally I get some that are either incorrectly transmitted or built using a newer version of Acrobat than I'm using - and Oracle will generally rebuild the latter if asked.

Actually I find it somewhat amusing that you state 'these PDFs are loaned' and then you are frustrated that these apparently private documents are not available on the public OTN site. Also kinda funny that you don't mention trying Acroread for Linux. As far a wandering around in OTN - I have been around the OTN neighborhood with Netscape 4.5-4.9, IE 5.0,5.5,6.0 and Konquorer 3.1,3.1.1 - it almost sounds like you disable or suppress cookies to get that kind of symptom.

More than anything, you've kinda got that troll look & feel - waddu-u say? Received on Tue Sep 30 2003 - 19:06:06 CDT
