I downloaded PPM41_ayo08b28.pdf on Monday when you published. It transmitted to a blank pp44 doc.
http://www.politico.com/static/PPM41_ayo08b28.html still seems to point to a readable PDF of Dodd's proposal...

Sorry I can't help you any further.

Is there a bill (S or H.R.) or amendment (Amdt) number on the document you have?

If not, I can wait for it to be introduced on the floor and text submitted to the clerk. Neither Frank nor Dodd have introduced anything this week. Perhaps someone else will.

Nope, sorry, no S.** number

... that's why the number and bill name sections are left blank.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

Clearly, but it makes it hard to search for the text.

I don't understand the problem viewing the text ... I was able to view it just fine when I looked yesterday.

The problem viewing the text: here is my suggestion on scope of your inquiry.

Millions of people on the internet have machines with different capabilities -- packaged software such as MSFT Office of different vintage/versions or operating systems which do not execute. They may use browser that are not "supported" by certain internet publishers, e.g. politico.com, for one or more released. Similarly, corporate IT standards require conformation of all machine capabilities to communications permissions, according to internal and external license.

Further, certain www publishers manufacture interactive, web-based applications and static products using custom software or customized versions of packaged software. In that case, the "portability" of documents and run-time of applications is not reliable across all operating systems. Transmittal failure could be determined by XML checks of OS.v*, browser.v*, or pdfReader.v* from server-side.

open source file formats are solutions to facilitate cross-platform transmitals of data. A *.pdf is puportedly an open source file format as is ASCII. Let us assume either (1) politico.com published the draft bill using custom *.pdf print format or (2) my browser was unable to reconcile the politico.com digital coding of the pdf.

I've rarely retrieved a blank *.pdf document, believe it or not, in 20 years of internet access --despite the fact none of machines have ever been WINbox and none of my package software is "current" version.

... active html page rather than a direct link to a real pdf file. I had not noticed that ... it worked on Firefox on Windows and Iceweasel on a Knoppix (Debian based) system.

I'll email the document and if the .pdf can be read, its some bug in the active .html page at politico.
