This is a FYI, and a complaint. http://csna01.libredigital.com/?urvs5cn3s8 Introducing Microsoft LINQ by Paolo Pialorsi and Marco Russo ISBN: 9780735623910 Introducing Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX by Dino Esposito ISBN: 9780735624139 Introducing Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 by Laurence Moroney ISBN: 9780735625396 The FYI is about the 3 free ebooks. The complaint is that http://csna01.libredigital.com/pdf_loader.cfm fails for all 3 books. Cold Fusion? What year is this?? Error Occurred While Processing Request File not found: /pdf_loader.cfm Please try the following: a.. Enable Robust Exception Information to provide greater detail about the source of errors. In the Administrator, click Debugging & Logging > Debugging Settings, and select the Robust Exception Information option. b.. Check the ColdFusion documentation to verify that you are using the correct syntax. c.. Search the Knowledge Base to find a solution to your problem.

I got this as well on one machine that didn't have Acrobat reader installed. Make sure you have Adobe Acrobat reader installed and try again. A blank page should appear for quite a while, but be patient and you'll get it in the end! Works fine for me, Sloan. Do you have Adobe Reader installed ? Juan T.

Must have been a weekend/nobody there to fix it..issue. ................ Email from them: Thank you for contacting LibreDigital. Are developers are aware of the issue you reported and are currently addressing it. The titles will be available shortly. We appreciate your patience and continued interest in the Microsoft products.

Yup. It's never worked for me. re: !> Server Overload? Quite possibly. CF can't handle really heavy loads. Another possibility is that pdf_loader.cfm has been misconfigured. I complained to them about the situation via 2 ways, and received one reply in which they said they're looking into the problem. Juan T.

Page 68 looks like the back cover, so I don't think this is a download problem. I presume we were meant to get the entire book? Page 67 says something about "In the next chapter you will learn..." so I think either: 1) We wen't meant to get all of the book, or 2) The person who converted it to an eBook was drunk I'm thinking (2). All >> They're up...but I can only get the complete books for Ajax and LINQ. >> The Silverlight book is truncated at page 68. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Page 68 looks like the back cover, so I don't think this is a download > problem. I presume we were meant to get the entire book? Page 67 says For me: The Linq book appears to be complete (including back cover) apart from the appendix. The Silverlight book has 68 pages, the last (except for the back cover) is numbered 142. According to the ToC the index should be on page 211. The Ajax book has 113 pages, the last of which (except for the back cover) is numbered 206. According to the ToC the index should be on page 295. I've contacted Libre Digital again with this information - hopefully they'll sort the documents out. [..]  SignatureRegards Chris Marsh re: !> All I agree. The offer page ( http://csna01.libredigital.com/ ) says that : "You can now access all of the e-book content from the following three Microsoft Press print books:" If the promotion says : "You can now access all of the e-book content", why are the ebooks truncated ? re: > I've contacted Libre Digital again with this information - hopefully they'll sort the documents out. I also contacted Coretta Bell at libredigital, who replied to my earlier email about the download problem, hoping that she can set the wheels in motion for us to get the complete texts for the ebook. As soon as she replies, I'll post her answer here. Juan T.
