Anyone know why I can't read the free download?

Its Chronicle Sheet and additional rules for running this module are a free download (213 KB zip/PDF).

I always get file corrupted message when I try to open it. I can see the chronicle but I can't see the instructions.

No ideas here, but if you specify which module you're having problems with the download for, it'll be easier for tech support to figure out where the issue is.

The first thing I'd try in your place is to download it again in case I had a corrupt download the first time. Then if it continued I'd try checking an alternate PDF viewer to see if that works.

Also, operating system and version, and what program you are using to view the PDF and what version.

I tried deleting and downloading the file several times. I tried just about every scenario. The one I am specifically trying to get instructions this time is "The City of Golden Death."

Error message: Adobe Reader could not open'._PZO9524-PFSRules.PDF' because it is either a not supported file type or because the file has been damaged.


The City of Golden Death is not a free download.

What operating system are you using?

Have you tried Foxit or other PDF reader?

This does not help you, but I just tried downloading and opening the file and it opened properly. I use Foxit Reader.

He is talking about the PF society organized play extra download for the module.

I just DLed it too and it opened with Adobe and PDF-xchange both with no problem.

It would help to know what PDF viewer you are using.

Should the filename really start with dot underscore? Are you trying to open the file before it has finished downloading?

Yeah as brock says it shouldn't be showing that. Is the zip file showing that name that way as well? If yes then it sounded like a bad DL. if the zip file is correct then maybe the unzip program you are using is not working correctly.
