Description ooo 2000-12-11 15:55:38 UTC 
http://api.openoffice.org/tutorial.pdf contains a PDF file of slightly over 3 MB
in size. When I click on the link to this file on http://api.openoffice.org, my
browser tries to download it (I guess, the server gives the wrong mime type).
When I download it explicitely afterwards, I get a broken file, 4 K in size.

Reassigned to louis 
for ownership 
(to coordinate support from kerry/chris toward resolution)

Considering legacy related issue experience / responsibility / ownership  
may more appropriately be reassigned to goolie 
(to coordinate support from chris toward resolution). 

FYI ... 
I can duplicate / verify the issue.

I tried accessing http://api.openoffice.org/tutorial.pdf but got nowhwere; I 
don't think my browser was trying to download anything.  My guess--just a 
guess--is that the address for the pdf doc. is mistaken.  Perhaps the document 
need only be re-placed in the directory? I don't have the pdf file; indeed, I 
don't think I have access to that folder, as my access is pretty much limited to 
 the common areas (navbars and www).

Have tried to fix this problem, but am unable to b/c I lack the original pdf 
document. Searched and could not find it. Nor do I seem to have access to where 
it should be.
Michael: perhaps you have this document? If so, it probably needs only to be 
reloaded into the directory.
Comment 6 lsuarezpotts 2001-02-13 23:21:21 UTC 
I am unable to fix this problem because I lack the necessary documents and 
access to the relevant site. I am reassigning to Michael for resolution. 
Michael, if this doesn't work out, let me know.
Comment 7 ooo 2001-02-14 08:28:59 UTC 
The document is checked in as cookbook.pdf in the same directory. AFAIK a "cvs
admin -kb tutorial.pdf" is all we need, but I don't have the right to do it.
Comment 8 Unknown 2001-02-21 04:09:50 UTC 
if i download
http://api.openoffice.org/basic/man/tutorial/tutorial.pdf
it works fine.... the URL listed above is invalid.
Comment 9 ooo 2001-02-21 14:18:47 UTC 
Finally, I moved the file.  I hope the next time, when I need a "cvs admin -kb",
and I guess that was the problem, I'd like to get it faster.
