| Bragg eBooks -- FAQ |
Available in our e-Store, Bragg Health eBooks are in Adobe Acrobat / PDF file format and can be opened, read, and printed with any program that has capabilities to 'read' these files. A FREE current version of Acrobat Reader is available at www.adobe.com for the vast majority of operating systems. Please make sure your version is at least version 4 or newer.
To retrieve your eBook click on the URL link provided within the download email sent you after your purchase (separate from your purchase receipt and sent within 1/2 hour of the purchase). If your Internet browser doesn't automatically present a download dialog box, then 'copy' the link and 'paste' it into the 'Address:' window (Internet Explorer) or 'Location:' window (Netscape Navigator) and press <enter> or <return>.
A dialog box should open, with a number of options; please chose 'Save to Disk' and select somewhere on your computer's hard drive that is easily and readily accessible to save your download file. This saved file becomes your permanent copy of the eBook. Before you're able to use the eBook you must un-Zip and extract it. For more info see below for working with ZIP files.
Facts about Your Downloaded File:
- Bragg eBooks are large files – 3 to 11 mb, and take time to download fully. For a 56K modem dialup connection this may take up to 45 minutes during peak internet traffic hours. Cable and DSL connections will usually take under 5 minutes.
- The eBook PDF and cover image files are contained within a ZIP archive file that requires you to 'extract' them before they are usable. As new versions become available, the full color cover will be part of the eBook PDF and not be a separate file.Any of the numerous ZIP extraction programs will do this and are widely available on the internet. Mac users - recent versions of Stuffit Expander will be able to extract the E-Book and images files. WINDOWS users - Stuffit Expander is now available in a Windows version, along with the standard, WINZIP, and any number of other freeware and shareware programs.
- Older versions than vers.4 of Acrobat Reader will not display your ebook properly – get the newest version of Acrobat Reader from Adobe.
All Bragg eBooks are 'Tagged' to allow the option to 'reflow' the layout, allowing them to be viewed on Pocket PCs with the proper reader and tools from Adobe.
- Bragg eBooks are 'enhanced' electronic equivalents of the actual printed books. They can be 'searched' for text phrases, the Table of Contents has links to all chapters for easy navigation and can have any portion 'printed' from within Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
- Printing a PDF should always be done from within Acrobat Reader.
- The download link for your eBook is a temporary link and will be active for 2 to 3 weeks. Please DO download your permanent copy to your computer during this 2 to 3 week period.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO INTERNET EXPLORER USERS!
The most recent versions of Internet Explorer in conjunction with version 5 of Acrobat Reader have useability issues. Clicking on a 'pdf' download link now causes both the Acrobat Reader Standalone program to open followed by the Acrobat 'plug-in' within IE. At which point the requested PDF file is retrieved. The Acrobat Plugin/IE browser window may remain blank for an extended period as the 'download' continues. Dial-up modem users may experience many minutes of a blank window, before the first page of the e-book file is displayed. This can be unsettling and many users may think their machine has 'locked up'. But that is not the case. Again the download time may be lengthy, so please be patient.
