Hey Johnus! It's tough to say without being in front of it, but sounds like the PDF file itself is corrupt - which would explain why it doesn't seem to open no matter what you attempt. As some have said, my copy of "Operational Art of War manual TO PRINT.pdf" is corrupt as well, but the "Operational Art of War manual EBOOK.pdf" is working fine, so we at least know it's not universal. I don't think this can be pinned on the devs, but we can try a few things: 1. First up, it shouldn't matter at all what your default PDF reader is, I'm sorry that someone led you to believe that. PDF files aren't so proprietary that they only open in a singular program. Possibly complicating things, the "DDE server" error in Acrobat Reader sounds like it may be a separate issue on TOP of the possibly-corrupt PDF. 2. I would, in fact, try to open "Operational Art of War manual EBOOK.pdf" using Edge. Despite what you'll hear from old holdouts, Edge is a pretty damn competent PDF reader, and a strong shake lighter than Adobe Reader. To try to open the file with Edge, you don't need to change your default - just right click the PDF file, mouse over "Open With," and "Microsoft Edge" should be an option in the sublist. If it's not, you can select "Choose another app" at the bottom to get a more detailed selection list, including Edge. 3. The "other files" you mention in the manual folder, I believe, are two .doc/.docx files, which are indeed Word files. But Windows 10 comes with the ol' WordPad, which should at least display the text of those files; you can open them with WordPad the same way you'd open the PDF with Edge: Right click -> "Open With" -> WordPad. 4. I'm gonna shoot you a PM as well, hopefully between that and this, we can get you reading. Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes
