If you go to http://gdpkeyboarding.com/GDP_Software.htm and try to download
"Introduction to GDP 10" by right-clicking the pdf link, saving the file,
opening PP 2007 and then browsing to and opening the downloaded pdf file, you
see this message: "The outline is too long to read in its entirety." When you
click OK, garbage opens up in PP07. The same file has been saved as an htm
file, which opens fine in the browser and the pdf opens fine in the browser.
However, neither one opens in PowerPoint correctly.

What is the problem and how can it be resolved so that visitors can download
these pdfs and open them in PowerPoint? I realize that the htm verrsion would
have issues becuase supporting folders would also need to be downloaded, but
the pdf file should open fine. All help greatly appreciated.

PowerPoint opens PowerPoint files, not PDFs. It opens its own HTML files and
some others but not all of them.

Sorry, but it won't work. PDFs won't open in PowerPoint. Users would need
Acrobat Reader or the like.
 
Thanks, Steve. Is there a way to download the htm file from that page and
also get the supporting folders copied?

If it's a PowerPoint created html file, it shouldn't be necessary. You can usually
just open it in PPT.

But what exactly are you trying to accomplish, and can you post a link to the file
in question?
