pdf's broken when downloaded

[joopvdl]

If you download the pdf's of jooper-janneker and bivio-bridges, pdf reader cannot open them. It seems they are broken. They will open in the browser, though.

are you using Firefox @joopvdl ?

[joopvdl]

yes

[patman023]

gotcha. can you try in chrome or something else and see if it still happens?

Github has known issues with Firefox (like trying to link files and images in these here bug reports), so this may very well be a Global "Can't Fix" bug :-(

[joopvdl]

Same problem in Epic privacy browser (but isn't that firefox in disguise?) I uninstalled the other browsers. Did you try some?

Firefox in-browser:

Chrome in-browser:

FF downloaded/opened in Foxit:

Weird AF. nothing's changed in months intentionaly from my end :-(

[joopvdl]

weird is the word. I pointed some guy to these, and he reported he couldn't open them. I sent him my originals. Maybe we should replace them with something a bit more reliable.

[patman023]

I getcha. I'm going to look into it a bit more, try and ask around. I've been away long enough, maybe this is something that others have dealt with on their own projects and have workarounds for.

[joopvdl]

Could be. Happy to be working together again :)
