Why is this so hard? Why do people who rise to decision-making capacity at a website not understand that links to PDF files need to be noted AS FUCKING LINKS TO PDFs????? Motherfuckers. If I ran an organization with a website and a web guy put on a link to a PDF without a warning, I would fire the worthless son of a bitch, and when the guy's next prospective employer called for a reference, I would say, truthfully, "I fired the guy because he's a worthless son of a bitch."
