Title: Poison
Post by: Sir Mathodius Black on July 17, 2003, 06:51:03 PM
Hey,

Are there any rules for Poisons out yet?  I didnt see any in the Rulebook, so will there be supplements with pioson rules or have some rules already been invented on the forum or what?

Thanks,
SMB

Note that you don't have to wait for your next month's statement to join paypal, just go online (most banks have that facility) a couple of days after you join PayPal and the code will be there.

No, I'm not saying this just so you'll buy OBAM. I'm not. Really. :-)

did you re-install the newest version of acrobat yet?

Jake's right, I suspect you need V5 at least to read it.

An other possibility is that your PC's association with .pdf files has become screwed up, and it think that pdf's should be associated with publisher instead of acrobat.

Two ways around this.

1) open acrobat and open the book using the FILE...OPEN option

2) Open Windows Explorer, click on the tools menu, then folder options, then file types, then go down the list and find PDF, and see what's listed in the "opens with" option. There is a change button there, click that and set it to acrobat reader.

none of those things worked.  and get this, when i tried to download reader version 6 from the acrobat site, it said that was also a picture it file!!   whats wierder is that all my other pdf files work fine, but OBAM and the new acrobat reader dont.  this is getting frustrating......

Understandably. Have you tried opening it from acrobat? No one else is having this problem, so it is surmountable...

hmm...ok i got it to work but onyl when opening the file directly and not actually saving it.  Looks really nice i must say.  Good work, but i still need to figure out how to get it working when i actually save it to disk.

have you tried to see whether your system has PDFs associated with Picture It?

That could, in theory, be the problem. You would need to reassociate it with Acrobat then. You could also try right clicking on the file and using  "Open With".

Also, did you check and see what the extention of the file is?
