"what's the deal?" Topic

I desided the visit the Paper Terrain website after reading so many good things about them here at the TMP. I was glad to see the free downloadable sample and attempted to download the sample so I could see how hard the product is to assemble and what it looks like close up and not by pictures alone. I found out the file is damaged, so I tried afew different computers thinking it might be at my end and theirs. After many times of finding that the file was damaged I email Paper Terrain. After many emails, never a reply. I do not like asking something of a company that I am concidering spending money that took me alot of hard work and time to earn and not recieve an answer from them. I am old school, which means my money spends anywhere, so guess I will try a different paper scenery company.

Downloads fine for me: PDF link

File works fine for me. The file is pretty basic but you may be trying to open it with an old version of Acrobat Reader – try updating that and see if it opens.

If you still have trouble then I can download it for you and e-mail it to you, I'm sure Scott wouldn't mind.

There area few buildings for 1/300th scale on my site, but I don't have other scales.

Bill's link worked fine for me. I am using the latest version of Firefox.

Are you sure your emails are going through? Scott is on TMP quite often, and this does not sound like him.

Scott has a regular day job…he just might not be available to jump on it at the moment (even e-mail).

You should try using Foxit:

Unlike Adobe reader, it doesn't need to update itself every 15 minutes, and the free version is very small, very quick.

I have no interest in Foxit except as a satisfied user of the free version -- and I own Adobe stock!

I downloaded it with no problem using Mozilla WaMCom and opened it with Acrobat Reader 5 on a Mac running OS 9.1. Reader warned me it might contain newer information than it could support, but I was able to see it anyway.

On a related note, it seems that many of the PDFs I download from Two Hour Wargames are damaged and can't be repaired (on a variety of different machines). But this Paper Terrain file was no problem.

Hi Everyone!

As Sundance guessed, I'm just getting caught up on this now :) My website was having some serious problems with spambots which were sending me dozens of e-mails a day. I usually only get one or two real e-mails a month (aside from orders, of course, which take a different route) so spotting them among all the noise was very difficult. My website forum had been rendered unusuable, too. But just this week I think all of that has been fixed (kudos to Rusti Gregory of Greener Mountain for doing the work).

I apologize to green beanie for not getting back to him at once, but honestly, I wasn't even aware that the sample file had become corrupt. It was corrput, but that has been fixed , too, (which is why you folks here were able to download it today). I will have to remember to test that out from time to time.

I really do try to provide the best service I can, but every now and then things do go wrong. Again, my apologies to anyone who might have been inconvenienced by this.

Also, the forum is now working again. Drop by!
