So with that out of the way, is there any more direct route to download the PDFs? Right clicking "See it now!" and hitting save doesn't work, it tries to save "download.asp" =(

Please note that PDFs that were already on my HDD - or that I can directly download - work fine.

Do it 2 or 3 times. The first one never works for me. The second or third time should pull up a save as dialog.

On advice from here I changed the preferences in Firefox to prompt for a download instead of trying to open the file directly. For Firefox it's in the Applications tab of the Options. Find anything marked Adobe, click on it, and change the default preferences to "Always Ask" and it should ask you what you want to do when you hit a PDF. Then you can save it where you want and read it from your own hard drive.

EDIT: =D I don't know which but something worked!
