CatchUp Edition 4

Gaieus

any chance of a direct download link? (right clicking the download link goes to "index.html" and I've never had any luck loading PDF's into Firefox....)

That's a simple redirect link (we only use it for being able to count downloads). It should launch the pdf file for you (I have also set my FF NOT to launch it in the browser but to download them instead).

If you right click on that index page and have a look at the source code, you will see the direct link.

You can download the PDF on the Issuu site.

Rich O Brien

Go here...
http://issuu.com/rclub24/docs/catchup_4
...and press this button

That requires you to have a login/password!

Khai

yes.. it does..
in the end, I started the index page, copied the URL that FF crashed on before it crashed and used that to download the PDF.

Rich O Brien

That's a shit feature

For those who still need to bypass the redirect link (even though it helps us track stats) just click the red catchup button at the top of the page....here....

Khai

it's not that I don't want to help you track stats on this. it's I can't get to read it otherwise... (I've never worked out why my firefox hates PDF's. I've tried 2/3/4/5/6/Aurora, Adobe/Foxit/etc... FF will start loading it and just carry on forever loading.... I have to download the PDF and then read it in FF or Foxit..)

TIG

That linked PDF has not got any 'Save' option toolbars either, or at least not in Acrobat Reader X embedded in FireFox 6.
I use the FireFox Add-on 'DownloadThemAll', which let's you download things like PDFs and images that are otherwise not accessible in the browser window...
You can always use File...SaveAs... menu option too and change to AllFileTypes and edit the suffix to .PDF - it then downloads OK too.

Rich O Brien

PDF X-Change Viewer integrates with FF and is much light than that Adobe beast

TIG

This should work...

Close FireFox and open 'Adobe Reader X'.
From the edit menu open up 'Preferences'.
Click on the "Internet" settings and uncheck the box "Display in Read Mode by default".
As a precaution, go to the "Document" settings and make sure that the box "Allow documents to hide the menubar, toolbars, and window-controls" is also unchecked.
Click OK and close Adobe Reader X.
Just to make sure, open Adobe Reader X and close it again.
Now the print, save buttons etc... should be visible in Adobe Reader X, inside the browser next time you run FireFox.
BUT it is flaky!

Thanks guys,

Another great issue.

Two things:

I find when I get to the lumenRT ad in the page turner edition, clicking on the page turner arrow takes me to the Lumen site, doesn't turn the page. Arrow key works OK.
In the survey you don't say what period you are proposing for the donation amounts.

Hello everybody
The first thing: Thank you very much!. Excellent job!

The second: I have problems when I followed the niche tutorial. When I tried to use Extrude Edges by Rails in SU8, it allow me to select the profile, rails, etc. but nothing happens. I changed to SU7 and the extruded surface came up immediately. This is my second Issue with SU8…
Your help please - I've split the thread off into EEbyRails... TIG http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=350962#p350962

Can you post this issue in the plugins thread? I can't see the problem unless you failed to select th melding profile?

I'm searching for the thread (I think it was a tutorial or in the gallery section) showing the development of the scene used to presentate the "useful app sketcher" in the pdf

thanks
