Super new here but I have a problem:

I just registered today from a link my friend sent me.  I looked up "coloring books" and found one I was interested in.  The link is:

http://bbs.pindiy.com/forum.php? ... ht=coloring%2Bbooks

I purchased them like I had been told and they downloaded to my computer.  They are .rar files, but I have an .rar opener.  However, after I opened them, I wanted to take a look at what I had gotten....but there was an error:

When I used my Adobe Acrobat Reader, I got the following message:
"Adobe Acrobat Reader DC could not open 10111626152FairytaleAdventure-2015-EmmaAndrews.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or or because the file has been damaged (for example,it was sent as an email attachment and wasnt correctly decoded).


When I used my Book Bazaar Reader (that can read .pdf, .epub, .mobi) I get the following errormessage :


"Book 1011626152FairytaleAdventure-2015-EmmaAndrews.pdf not loaded. Unspecified error inbook loading"


Any suggestions would be helpful AND greatly appreciated!!


Thanks so much for helping the newbie!

Yes, I downloaded both parts.  I read somewhere while I was looking around that you need to download all parts before it can be opened.

I downloaded the files again, just to make sure and it will open them to the pdf , but i cannot go any further,

Just found out something very interesting.  I hope this works.  I dont use this kind of thing very often, so I had to "read instructions".  Thank heavens Im not a guy, they NEVER read the instructions, LOL



Well, Im going to see if this works or not.
YIPPEE!!  It worked.  Now what I want to point out is, after I clicked on Properties  this popped up ad look at the size of the file!  Size is 0 bytes!  So there is literally NOTHING in this file!
I tried same thing with the files I downloaded the second time and sure enough...they show 0 Bytes as well.
Apparently, whoever uploaded the files must have done soemthing wrong, since Ive tried 3 different ways & they all end up the same---- 0 Bytes

Do you have your file now?  Please rename the attachments to something shorter like Part 1 and Part 2.  Put them in a folder and click on them and you get one large PDF file.

In case you get an incomplete download of the attachments, you can download again for free if you go to iBooks(free) at the top of the page.

I m not sure what it was that I did, lol, but it worked!  I found a bootleg copy of WinZip and used that instead of the RAR Opener I had been using.  I guess that might have fixed it, but I got them all now, so Im good!!

Thanks to everyone who had suggestions!

This is helpful but wish there was a better way to post large files. Rar is a pain
