Post by thread:Microchip *.pdf files...

Hi to All of you, Recently I needed to consult one of application notes on Microchip www server. As I do not have any pdf browser, I downloaded acroread.exe (DOS version, I hate and do not use Windows..) from http://www.adobe.com. I can not read anything (however files supplied with the package read OK). Does this mean that there are different versions of pdf files? (BTW all files were downloaded in binary mode :-) ) Have you got any any ideas? I still would prefere even simple but DOS browser, or converter to PostScript. I also use Linux and gostscript. Regards, janusz
