I used the link you posted and the file downloaded in Safari and
opened up in the Adobe Reader add on for Safari with no problems. I'm
running OS X 10.5.8 on a Macbook Air with an Intel Core Duo 2
processor with 2 gig of ram. I also just tried opening it using
Preview and had no trouble opening and scrolling through it.
