I find the whole PDF/flash interface profoundly annoying.. why don’t you just publish the articles in a normal html website format? (and it doesn’t work on my ipad either…)
Sorry you find it that way Joe!
The length of articles and the graphic work in them we just don’t feel works well on the web and a lot of people appreciate the format. I’ve used it on my iPad quite a bit….I wonder if there is something we can do to help you sort it out. There is also a link to download the issue in PDF format on the right of the screen if you are viewing it on your computer..some prefer the PDF version and it will also load on the iPad…there is video embedded this issue though and that won’t come up in the PDF.
I agree, the format is a major PITA!
I’m not usually too bothered about the format as such, I don’t mind these e-magazine readers as a rule, it does actually feel as though I’m reading a magazine, rather than reading a website, and I think that makes a difference…
My issue is that I have a very poor internet connection for more than half the year (I work at sea) and often get very little time online, so I wanted to download the PDF. No Chance. I’m not confident that it would even download if I was lucky enough to be able to let it download for the full 12 hours that I’m on shift…
I’ve always found, that when downloading PDF files, if you have to load it in the browser it will take easily twice as long to download, as opposed to just saving the file to your computer before opening.
if you were able to add in the facility to just download the file directly, I would find that immensely useful.
Dale…in firefox, click on pdf download button…it saves wherever you want.
Safari loads it in the browser window – but that’s a function of the browser, not the magazine as far as I know.
Ah, it’s been a problem I’ve had what a while, and not being able to download the issue has motivated me to work it out.
Turns out that it’s actually the adobe plugin that has been my problem, as it has been automatically hijacking the download and forcing it to open in a new tab. As soon as I disabled it, clicked the button and straight away let me save it, or open it!
Might have known!
Thanks for the input, I’m happy again!
I like it just fine – use it on PC, Ipad, and Android Phone, plus it’s Free!
Frikkin lockout.
Always a good read. And awesome info on products/ drills.
Hum… is it normal that I can only read the first 10 pages? After the first ten, all the other pages are blank
Sorry for the spam, problem solved, it was because I used google chrome
I do download/use the PDF format, cause the other interface is just too annoying, but to address your quote
“The length of articles and the graphic work in them we just don’t feel works well on the web” — maybe you need better web design then.. I’ve been a web programmer since 1994 (yes the good ‘ol text-browser days) and I’ve never come across content that couldn’t be replicated on the web without using flash..
In fact, for your own advantage in SEO marketing etc, it is to your benefit to have the content accessible in an HTML format instead of PDF, etc since it is more readily indexable and searchable by search engines etc… So, better format = better marketing = more readers = more advertisers..
