marguerite Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 What he said. But are you running Office 2008 under Tiger or Leopard? Sorry, I took too long to save. -Thoth. I'm still running Tiger (10.4.11). One of the companies to which I send files hasn't upgraded from Adobe CS, and although in principle (as the Russians say) CS3 has this file interchange format, (1) I don't want to spring megabucks for CS3 and (2) in practice the conversion seems to create certain bizarre problems even with files that aren't also traveling cross-platform. So until they get a clue, I'm avoiding Leopard. The Safari version is 3.1. Could there be a compatibility issue? But in any case, I'm going to try Steve's solution first. I don't care if the PDF downloads instead of displaying. I just don't want the whole setup to crash. I tried several times to fix it through Acrobat, to no avail.

Steve E Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 ... I'm going to try Steve's solution first. Please let us know how it works out. Seeing the Microsoft Götterdämmerung on the horizon, -Thoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marguerite Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Please let us know how it works out. Seeing the Microsoft Götterdämmerung on the horizon, -Thoth. Yes, it worked! Thanks so much, both of you. Should I get rid of the AdobePDFViewer plug-in now? Best, Marguerite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Should I get rid of the AdobePDFViewer plug-in now? Get rid of as in move to the trash or get rid of as in move out of the folder? That folder is where Safari plug-ins live. If you want Preview to be your default PDF viewer, move it out of the folder. If you want the Adobe plug-in to be the default, leave it. Note: If you remove it, the Adobe updater will ask you if you want to reinstall it. Just say no. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a wild moment I thought it was a story creation tool! But I'll have go back and give it more attention next time I'm climbing the walls from dealing with too many pages of abysmal translation.

I actually found this pretty useful. And three cheers to Steve Gordon (a fellow New Yorker) and his "thousands of volunteers" who helped build the database his engine operates against. But a search engine's results are never better than the database, and I can't completely agree with some of the analysis. (I searched for a lady "lawyer-creature" telepath and got some odd results.) But it's still a worthwhile tool. Thanks again. Steves are just the most creative people. -Thoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the Evil Alien Overlords lost out in the Great Corset Battle of 1912....And tie those Windsor knots well. True. But you forget the Stiletto Heel & Silk Stocking Concession of 1941 (Article 197 Section 23 Paragraph 9) which states, in no uncertain terms, that bolo ties may be worn in substitution. You can't even tie a half-decent Half-Windsor in a bolo. (The "muffin cameo" requirement in the 1952 Bolo Tie Amendment was a bit much, I think.) Here, have a muffin. It's blueberry.

Those stiletto heels break off at the darndest times. It's like they get radar signals or something. Oh, no! Is that the Overlords' revenge?! Does this invalidate Isaac's challenge? And why is Isaac challenging us, anyway? Was it not he who objected to the academic tone of the tie discussion and introduced the Evil Alien Overlords in the first place? We Storyists have long memories, Isaac! M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
