| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| PDF won’t open / “Corrupt file” error | Re‑download the file. Make sure the download completes (check the progress bar). |
| Link leads to a 404 page | Try the Wayback Machine (step 3‑B) or contact the GBC directly via email/phone for the latest version. |
| Reader freezes on large PDF | Use a lightweight viewer (SumatraPDF on Windows, MuPDF on Linux) or split the PDF with a tool like PDFsam. |
| Cannot save to cloud | Verify you have enough storage space and that the cloud app is signed in. |
| Annotations not saving | Ensure the PDF is not opened in “read‑only” mode. In Adobe Reader, click File → Save As after adding comments. | Error 2: The Language Barrier
