Willi Egger helped me get a minimal install working on my mac and I'm working on a collection of columns illustrated with pictures. It's been a while since I used Context so I want to download some basic manuals to refresh my memory and learn new things.
On my Windows machine I can view/navigate and download manuals from the http://www.pragma-ade.nl/showcase.pdf page, but on my mac this doesn't work. In the Safari browser, nothing happens if I click on the "manuals" link. In Firefox, the showcase PDF is downloaded and I can open it. After allowing the file to go full screen, I get error messages for the links "there was an error opening this document/ the file cannot be found', execpt on the "quit" link ;-)
Is there a simple thing I should change to make it work on the mac as well?
doesn't acrobat work? (the mac pdf browser is somewhat limited); best use acrobat reader as plugin
I use Acrobat Reader 8 on my Slackware Linux 12.0 system with Firefox as the browser. The main page comes up but when I click on e.g., Manuals or Examples I get a File Not Found error. I experimented with Konqueror and Kpdf as the viewer. That seems to work, but slowly because of the download time. Il try to switch Firefox to Kpdf to see if that will work. -- John Culleton Precision Typesetting Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com
