Mr. Easton:

Thank you for your suggestions which I have completed .The re-publishing
also went well.

As matter of technical interest. a 117 MB acrobat file , when executed from
within my local website, displays in Acrobat almost immediately, while
executing the same Acrobat file online at my remote website takes almost 6
minutes to display in my MS IE7 browser. Viewers , like most of us , deplore
waiting for commands to bare fruit. As a consequence I have advised my
viewers to download the *.pdf files to their computers for convenient future
references and viewing. Or have I missed something more suitable?

Thank you again

Dr. Fimio

Works fine for me.
However, note the link to the /pdf:
http://www.vira-mycosis.741.com/Venous-Plexus-Meninges & Sinuses Dura Mater.pdf

The %20 represents spaces in the file name.
Rename the pdf file and replace the spaces with dashes or underscores _
and then re-link to it and republish the page and the file.
