The issue usually arises when the Portable Document Format (.pdf) file is opened before it has finished downloading, which of course takes a little while with larger files.
The problem can be made worse by the fact that, depending on your browser settings for “cacheing”, trying a second or subsequent time to download it doesn’t help, because the browser holds a copy of the (corrupt) downloaded document and simply keeps trying to open that rather than actually downloading a complete copy.
Suggestion: clear the cache. Assuming that you use Internet Explorer (although I always recommend ditching this in favour of anything else!), choose “Tools”, then “Internet Options…” to open a new dialogue box, select the “General” tab. Look for the “Temporary Internet files” section on that tab, and click on the “Delete files” button. A new dialogue box will open – click the “OK” button to confirm. Click “OK” on the remaining dialogue box to close it, and then try again to download the PDF (Portable Document Format) file containing issue of “Old and Bold” or “Off Beat” that you require.
Let me know if you continue to have problems. If your PDF software keeps trying to open the document before it has finished downloading, one way round it is to use “right-click” and “Save as…” on the link for the issue, and downloading it to your PC, then opening it locally (double-click on the file icon, viewed with Windows Explorer).
