Hi, my September Extra Wide does not open, needs a password. Never had this before. Please advise, thank you,

Totally wierd -- re-download

This password / open behavior is very odd, we used the same method we've used for the last three months to make this PDF. We changed to Affinity Publisher from Adobe Acrobat, that's the one big change we made back in July.

We have always put a password on CHANGING the magazine but never on opening, and we make no secret of that ... on bottom of the masthead / staff page, we always put the password just in case you need it. It's always the month + year, like this:

Sep2020

Notice the month is three letters with the first letter caps.

However, given the wierd behavior this month with passwords, I removed the password to change from all the PDFs just now (so wide open, no passwords in sight anywhere), hopefully that fixes this password nonsense.

PLEASE RE-DOWNLOAD TO GET THE WIDE OPEN PDF.

My experience

For what it's worth: For both the initial download and a re-download a few minutes ago, I had no problem with the September 2020 wide format version using Adobe Reader DC and Windows 7.

Joe, not sure I follow you,

Joe, not sure I follow you, but the new version works fine, thanks!

Tried to open the original file in both Win7 and Linux, all my softwares that can open PDFs said file encrypted. Some refusing to open the file, others displaying blank pages.

Thank you for bringing us MRH,

Phil
