Correct.  After spending ages to work out how to find the 2011 guide (using Firefox) it wouldn't appear but after searching using internet explorer I found it.  Although there are still blank pages unfortunately?  Nevermind!  Days to go...

My copy downloaded fine in Firefox.

Guy Smith has been tweeting about the Michelin Guide to Le Mans. Personally refuse to give all that info to register and get a copy (and not be able to opt out of their junk mail schemes) so have no idea whether it is worth reading. But aimed him at the CA guide.

Sadly, mine has the same affliction - I tried in both FF and IE. Will try in the office tomorrow to see if my connection but not a happy pdf file tonight ....

Hi all,

no idea what could be wrong - the copy I have compiled looks fine on my computer - and I can print it without problems. If anyone has an idea?
May be the problem is the Adobe Acrobat Reader Version: You need at least version 7, (current one is version 10) ?

Just in case the file got corrupted on the server, I'll upload it again tonight.

If anyone has an idea, please tell me.

Hi

I have tried with Chrome, Ie and Firefox, all with the same result, and my adobe is the latest version.

My Adobe says there is a failure in the file and i shall contact the creator of the pdf file

[smokie]

It's fine for me, using chrome.

Hi,

I've downloaded it twice and tried reading it with Acrobat Pro 9.4.4, Foxit 4.1 Reader, Nitro PDF Reader and Nuance PDF Reader and they all show the same blank pages. I even tried repairing it with Advanced PDF Repair (without success).

If Werner can confirm when he has re-uploaded the file, I will try again!

Just downloaded again (started 00:05) got exact same file, no problem reading.

Can read in linux with Okular 0.10.4 & GIMP 2.6.8, also in Android QuickOffice 3.3.74. Also printed at work from Acrobat (unknown version).

Can only presume you folk are getting corrupt downloads, file size should be 18,413,124 bytes

[UPDATE]
Actually there does seem to be something odd - although both my downloads have the same file size they are NOT identical!

Have just downloaded the new version and there is still som blank pages, starting from page 8
and some pages where the text is looking wierd (page 64 - 69)

Tried again in the office - better (poss because of bigger pipe to download through?), but still not right. Something in the formatting just is not happy and I get blank pages and missing/bad formatted pics, however, most of it is perfectly readable and all the important stuff is there - well done again Werner, the guide content just gets better every year.

Similar problems here.. - Using newest versions of Adobe Reader:

Werner - the first version I downloaded on 1 June, md5sum 72dc1fbc6b5bbd8d1813f2ccb669985c has no issues anywhere I have taken it.

The version I downloaded 8 hours ago, md5sum 79531744fae9309e990d7335193e5b87 has the same file size but same problems described above - pages 8, 10 etc blank, pages 64, 96 etc corrupt.
