Eric,
Downloaded, but the default pdf viewer (QuickOffice on my android phone) just shows me pages with a big red X.
I downloaded the Adobe Reader app and now i can see the content, but it does not look anything like the image I see in my pc's browser. Garbled / washed out, though each page is different.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] opening a pdf file
Are any of you able to open the following URL with an Android-based tablet device:
http://dh.crc.nd.edu/sandbox/cyl/corpus/canarybird00schm.pdf
I have harvested about 60 PDF documents from the Internet Archive, and I created a rudimentary tablet-based interface to the collection here:
http://dh.crc.nd.edu/sandbox/cyl/catalog/
Using my desktop machine I am able to download and view the PDF documents found in the "catalog", but I am unable to view them on my iPad nor my iPhone. Grrrr… I've tried many different PDF viewers on my iPad and iPhone, all to no avail.
I'm wondering whether or not this is a iOS thing or if there is something wrong with my PDF files.
Please tell me what your experience is.
