A correspondent has sent me a link to a dissertation, which, he assures me, it is possible to download as a PDF. Unfortunately his email was vague as to how, and I simply can’t work it out.
It’s presented in some obscure online viewer software, which, to my eye, simply doesn’t have a download option.
Can anyone work out how to download the blasted thing? It’s here.
I am reminded of the curse in The Dying Earth, “May Kraan hold his living brain in acid”. That summarises how I feel about all these pieces of useless “viewer” software. I merely wish that the authors of such viewers be forced to use their own frustrating creations!
Dear Roger, I would suggest you to ask directly Mr Ebeid, through Academia.
And, as I am a good guy, i can give you his page :
https://pontificalorientalinstitute.academia.edu/BisharaEbeid
(I shall add that i tried to “print” the document with some pdf-maker, but it was only possible to get 100 pages at a time, and there are 760 pages !)
I only can read the book under

but not download to my computer.
Captures of the single pages with SNAGIT would be to painfull ?
Thank you for trying. At least we now know for sure.
I downloaded and viewed it just fine. Here is what I saw

Thanks. That is what I see … but how do you get it to download as a file to your PC?
Print to a PDF writer eg PrimoPDF. You will need to do this 8 times as there is a 100 page limit for printing. I tried the first 100 pages and this was successful. Unfortunately the file is file was quite large but the process was successful.
Thank you for the suggestion. I was able to print some of this as you suggest, and quite successfully!
