[no subject]

I have a similar [Official MB Service Manual Library], though not the
same, CD, since all my pdf files are not in one folder. 

The pdf files work fine once opened one at a time. I guess I'll just
have to do what you did, i.e. open'em one at a time and list what's in
it  :-(

Appreciatively,

Courtney
