unable to download my resume from my profile page Thread poster: Noe Tessmann

Hello, is there a problem with PDF resume files. I uploaded a PDF file as my resume, but I am not able to download it. It gives me a message "File doesn't begin with %pdf". Even with "save target as", I cannot open it. I tried already several times to reupload it, but there is no change.

Hi, I just downloaded your profile - no problem at all. (Win2k Pro, Acrobat 5.0, MSIE 5.5) Does your browser recognise other PDFs? Best regards, Ralf | | | Noe Tessmann Local time: 16:06 English to German + ... TOPIC STARTER
Hi Ralf, thank you for testing the download, I have no idea why it is not working from my side: WinXP, Acrobat 6.0, IE 5.0, Opera 6.0, Crazy Browser I can open all other PDF's. But if it's possible for clients to get the CV, it must be fine. warm regards Noe | | | Noe Tessmann Local time: 16:06 English to German + ... TOPIC STARTER file corruption confirmed | Jul 24, 2003 |

I had the same problem with Opera 6.05. Opera sees the PDF as some type of gzipped file (I didn't do much research into the problem). The solution is to use another browser, or upgrade to Opera 7. I'm using Opera 7.11 and this issue has been solved. BTW, *ANY* resume format was affected, not just PDFs. But if it's possible for clients to get the CV, it must be fine.
As long as clients don't use Opera 6 (or inferior, I suppose), they'll be able to download the file correctly. To be honest, the ProZ.com staff could tweak a little the MIME type of the resume files so that Opera 6 would download them as well Regards, Dan Dascalescu | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » unable to download my resume from my profile page TM-Town | Manage your TMs and Terms ... and boost your translation business
