I went to download the Bowditch 2002 from NIMA tonight and the download failed several times under Acrobat 4.0, which has "web site capture" abilities that allow it to capture and link all the chapters in one shot. Chapters 1, 10, 15, 21, 25, 31, 35, and BowditchIX are apparently either corrupt, locked, or Acrobat 5.0 format with the "3.0/4.0 compatibility" feature turned off. They can be downloaded directly--but Acrobat 4.x will not recognize them as valid PDF files. If anyone else if thinking of downloading them, wait. I've asked the NIMA webmaster to look into this and correct them.
