I can see clearly now the rain is gone/I can see all obstacles in my way/Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind/It’s gonna be a bright (bright)/Bright (bright) sunshiny day/ — Johnny Nash, 1972
FYI, something seems to be off with the PDF of the E7 blog. Chrome, Edge, & Firefox read it very well, but Acrobat can't read most of the pages, tested on both Windows & Mac.
I do get the "error processing page" from the Acrobat DC viewer. Not sure what I can do because all I have are those PDFs that I just stitched together into a single file. Sorry about that. I'm sure it is Adobe being picky about its own format.
Yep, no problem, Firefox/Acrobat online works fine, just figured I'd let you know. It does seem to be the case of "Acrobat Desktop being pedantic about some edge case in the PDF standard", since Preview on mac opens it as well.
I updated the PDF in the post. I just used the Mac "print to PDF" from within Preview and that seemed to sanitize it for the Adobe reader. Still missing a few photos and not sure why. They must have been weird links at the time the PDFs were made.
Everyone of a certain age who leads the worldwide shipment of software sings this Johnny Nash song, every time they do it

Gosh I'm sorry. Believe it or not I did test it across platforms with the browser and native viewers, but not with Acrobat itself. I will look into it. In the meantime it is also here https://archive.org/details/engineering-windows-7-blog/page/n13/mode/2up
Just glad to know it will get looked at. It also repros on the free Acrobat Reader, in case you don't feel like getting a licence.
Super cool that you did this - the slow link rot of old MS blogs (and Channel9) is sad.
I was able to view it on the acrobat online viewer. I am not really sure what is going on.

Huh, online works for me as well. Same file still gets errors reading pages on Acrobat Desktop.

Sure did, interesting.
