Jerry,
That's exactly the problem. The url that ends in .pdf is not
available until after IE is forwarded to it by the redirect link.
Download is not an option when I rt-click on the first link.
 
Do you have Adobe Reader? If not, download version 6.0 from
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readermain.html
I prefer to have PDF documents open in Adobe Reader- not IE so...
Open Adobe Reader> Edit> Preferences> Internet> uncheck "Display PDF in
browser." You should then have the option to save.

You might also have to go to Folder Options> File Types> PDF> Advanced, and
check "Confirm open after download."

Also, you can reportedly make Adobe Reader load faster with these
prodedures:

Hope this helps,

Robert,
Until you mentioned it, no, I did not notice the key at the bottom of
the screen. When I hover over this key with my mouse, a note appears
that says, "Document is encrypted" so apparently you're right.

I am able to print the document so if that's the only way I can
archive it, that'll have to do. But it would be a lot more convenient
to have a copy on my PC. Can anyone tell me if this can be done and
if so, how?

Can someone tell me how to download a pdf file once I have its URL?

Did you notice the padlock in the bottom toolbar?
Perhaps they don't want you to do that...

I found out some more about this since I posted.

Compare: what is implied by Ctrl-d,Security versus what you can see in
the TIF viewer. ;)

Is it larceny to take advantage of ignorance?
