The Financial Times Crossword Download

[iminoz]

I've always downloaded this as a PDF, but today it is showing as a file which I can't open.
Does anyone else find the same thing?

Using Windows 10, Firefox and Foxit Reader, all updated today.

This prints off fine for me, any use?

Thanks, Mamya, but unfortunately, no. It downloads but I can't open it.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh sorry, maybe someone in the Technology topic can help you.

Hi iminoz - I've copied them over to the following links, but can't swear they'll work -

FT Cryptic 15,749 - http://docdro.id/suJTP8x

Polymath 951 - http://docdro.id/vdr5fgC

Click the link, "Download" (top-right) & (hopefully) print. HTH.

Yippee! Thanks, LIK, worked perfectly.
I hope I can sort the problem out for next week, though.

[Lie-in King]

:-) You're welcome, I'm pleased I could help, though I'm sorry I can't suggest a solution to the underlying problem at the moment.

Try RIGHT-clicking Mamya's link, selecting 'Save Link As' and saving the file to your hard drive. Then try opening it from there by double-clicking on it. If that doesn't work, please say what actually happens when you try. (e.g. what, if any, error message do you see?).

PS: By default, Firefox tries to open pdf files within itself, rather than employing an external viewer, such as Foxit Reader. For example, if I click on Mamya's link I get the FT crossword in a new Firefox tab. To change things so that a pdf file opens directly into Foxit Reader, scroll down to 'Using another PDF viewer' here:

Thank you so much, Beunchico. When I save it to the hard drive it shows up as a PDF, and opens straight away.
It also works if I right-click and save from the link in the FT.
Previously it was just showing as a Windows file.
