Chas - but I've just checked, by clicking on the link in my first message, and it worked fine for me!

It faults for me too. I run a pretty elderly version of Acrobat (full Acrobat, not just Reader) and it is getting more and more common for me to find that pdfs contain "information not understood by the viewer". But if I get a new Acrobat at vast expense, it won't run in Win 98SE. And if I get XP it will only just run on this machine (Athlon XP2100 with 512 ram) and will be full of spyware.

Richard - it was just a year yesterday that I migrated from Windows 95 and dial-up to XP and Broadband. I remember only too well what it was like having ancient hardware and software that was no longer supported by Microsoft, and getting messages that the page wouldn't display properly. Now, of course, XP has been overtaken by Vista.....

Anyway, I don't think it's a problem with the Haddenham website!

Well I have XP and Broadband, but it still doesn't work.
Whatever. Enjoy your thingy.

Thread drift - why not try using GhostView/GhostScript.

Thanks for that info Kitty,
I'm almost certain to go now I know about it. Have emailed Helen today and gather she rarely goes to Herga now - I was offering her a lift for Monday - thought that might help you guess who I am...see you on Monday hopefully - that's if all the roads are signed properly!...another little clue?

I have not speedily found information about which versions of Ghostview are 98SE compatible.

I really don't want to move to XP because of the sypware in it.

After a huge amount of pfaffing about with new versions of Acrobat and not being able to set them as default reader, I did get the brochure open by saving it and then specifically opening the new reader first and then using that to open the brochure (and it was still swearing at me about updating) I read it.

Wot no fringe?

Richard - I think it's possibly the only festival at which I use my ticket to see the guests!

In case anyone still wants to read the PDF flyer and can't deal with the later version, HERE is a version converted to an older PDF format (looks the same at a brief glance)
This has been a public service ammouncement.

Very enjoyable from start to finish - the sound in the Main Hall was good (many thanks to Jim on the desk) and well-balanced for Martyn Wyndham Read with Iris Bishop and John Dipper, Coope Boyes and Simpson with Fi, Jo and Georgina, and Mawkin Causley - great to hear them live. I also enjoyed the smaller concerts in the Walter Rose room with Paul Scourfield, Roger Jenkens, Dave and Anni and The Omega 3. I'd been looking forward to this and wasn't disappointed.
