    • Hi Steve,

      Some more information would be helpful to get you going, type of computer, operating system, etc.

      Are you using Adobe Acrobat Reader to access the book? If you changed any of the Preferences in Reader, exit the file and the program and then reopen.
      Have you checked the settings suggested in Chapter 1?
      It might help to set QuickTime as the default media player if you are on an older Windows machine.

      If none of that helps, send me an e-mail

    • After you installed Flash, did you close and re-start Adobe Reader? If not, give that a try.

      • I installed new version of acrobat reader made that default reader and it worked…now I do see video image. Thank you for your prompt response…

  1. Was downloading for nearly 2 hours and after a few dropped connections was told the link was cancelled Never had this problem with other vendors. Unhappy and still waiting for re activation. Bill

    • Sorry that you had issues with this. The file is quite large (1.4 gigabyte) because of the video content. Numerous things can happen during a download and a hiccup anywhere on your machine or in your internet connection can cause a problem. The service I use recommends this software to speed up and resume downloads of this size.

      The service sends a link via e-mail when the transaction is complete. That link will give you a few attempts before it shuts off. If you have an issue and your link no longer works, send me an e-mail and I’ll send a new link as soon as possible.

      I try to keep a close eye on the inbox, but I do need to sleep sometimes. I’m in the Eastern time zone in the United States. Keep that in mind if you’re in China and sending an e-mail every five minutes.

  2. Hi Bob,
    I just downloaded and I’m using my iPad to read via iBooks… I also have a PDF reader app I can use. I can’t seem to see the video on my iPad or on my Mac. Any suggestions?

  3. Purchased the dvd on Kitchen Cabinets. Cannot get the videos to play. Am running on Windows 10.

    Every time I click on a video, jumps to an Adobe site and show “Adobe–Error Page, Home/Sorry, this page is unavailable.”

    • Hi Ron,
      Sent you an e-mail. For others experiencing this problem try updating Adobe Reader, Flash and check the settings in Adobe Reader Preferences.

  4. I have twice downloaded both Adobe Reader and Flash. Re-started and set all the settings you recommend and still I get the message that I need to install the latest copy of flash in order to view the videos. Windows 10 operating system. Frustrated Pete

    • Hi Pete,
      Sorry that you’re having trouble. Do you get this message when you click on a video in the book?

      Did you close Adobe Reader and restart that after making the settings in Reader Preferences? That usually does the trick. If not, close the file, close Adobe Reader then restart your computer. You can reach me via e-mail if that doesn’t get you up and running. [email protected]
      There is also a window in Reader Preferences where you can designate a video player to use. It might work to select something other than what you have now.
      hope this helps,
      Bob Lang

  5. I used to learn PDF using the highlight function of acrobat in order to create a summary of comments. Unfortunately the pdf is protected and it is not possible to use the handy highlight and commentar function. Would it be possible to reduce slightly the level of protection of your document in order to enable these handy tools?

    • Hi Jeremy,
      Thank you for pointing this out. I’m in the process of fixing this, but it takes a while for the upload. I will send you a fresh download link when the new file is ready.

      Anybody else like to highlight in Adobe Reader? If you purchased a download before March 17, 2017,

        send me an e-mail

      and I will send you a fresh link.

  6. I just purchased the book, the conformation email and download link arrived almost immediately. However when I clicked to download the book I get this error. ”

    AccessDenied
    Access denied

    Any one else had this problem? I’ve email the support address and am awaiting a reply. I run windows 10, tried edge, firefox and turned off smartscreen and other browser protection, that didn’t fix the error.

  7. I managed to get the file to Al through other means, just wanted to put this out in case one of my readers has an idea.

    If you’re having issues, the quickest way to get through will be to send me an e-mail. Click this link to do that.
