Sorry for the frustration.
If you copy and paste the whole link I think you will find it works just fine. Notice that the link has spaces in the file name. Our mail server for the net only marks the link up to the first space so if all you do is click on what the mail server shows as the link it will not work. If you copy the whole link (http://thedovetailjoint.squarespace.com/storage/GMC WS fall 2010 presentation 2a.pdf) - the part between the open and close parens - then paste that directly into your browser, I think it will work for you. Spaces in a URL are treated differently by different browsers/OSs/machines. If you click on "- Yes, you can reliably take your GMC on a cross country adventure - a guide to preparing yourself and your coach for long distance travel by Jerry & Sharon Work." on the GMC page on my web site, the .pdf file will download and display on your machine as well.
No Flash involved here, and no Apple hating Windows stuff either, just an annoying issue with how different pieces of software treat spaces in a URL name. The .pdf file is large, however, (about 40mb) since it contains full size copies of the images. Since I sell fine furniture on that web site I purposefully leave the images large so those interested can enlarge them to see details of interest. I can make the GMC presentation .pdf files smaller, but they would not render as interestingly on some older machines.

I get the same as Buzz and George on Ubuntu 12.04.
Tried Firefox, Opera, Arora, and Midori browsers even when set to identify as internet exploder no go. How can a direct link fail?
Interior pics look real good!
