Just out of interest how do you compress Acrobat 7 down to 500K?
It's the Reader, and I just found it at cnet.com and that was the size.
I'll send it again and change the extension, let me know if it works or not.
I think all you have there is the Adobe Download Manager - the Acrobat Reader is closer to 20M
ok. I have increased your email account here at vbax to 30MB.
I have downloaded reader without the frills (19.8MB).
I have changed the file name to end in txt.
I have zipped the file.
I have emailed it to you here at vbax.
Great!
Now, let's see if it ever leaves my outbox...
I'm going to bed now!
:deepsleep
Heck with that. Get it here: www.kwilters.com/AdbeRdr70_enu_full.zip
But give it a few minutes to upload. Like 20.
Thanks everyone, but after all that - I get "The specified version requires a newer version of Windows"
Bummer - never mind! :( But I really do appreciate the effort everyone went to. :)
Tell us what version...
It was for work - where we're still using NT 4.0. It was for a web site that says we need to install it to read their stuff.
I hate them.
Well, since the topic has been addressed here, I'm curious to know if the changing of the file extension worked (if anyone here has tried it).
Used to beat the Outlook security issues like that back in the day (using txt instead of exe); does it work for Gmail as well?

Hi Scott,
Yep, changing the file extension to .txt worked fine, because I was able to download it. And changing it (once downloaded) back to .exe was also good. Only my employers version of Windows (NT) wasn't the right one for that particular program. :(
Just to help,
even if you put your e-mail in a script it can be readen by spam bots. The only secure way (till now) is to put it as an image with trash in the background.
Hey Carlos,
Curious to know your opinion on this. It's a javascript anti spam script...
Tamer!
Did you ever get a copy of Acrobat 6.0 reader? I do have a copy of it here which I could get to you if you want to try it.
Cheers,
Ken
It's kind of you mate, I finally sorted it.
Thanks again
