 PDF Manuals on Windows 8 Platforms
Sonnets PDF Manuals do not open on Windows 8 platforms when using the embedded Reader app. If you click
on a button to open a manual, nothing happens. The app only allows one instance to run at a time so it does not
support links between PDF documents, which are used in Sonnets manual set supplied with your installation.

From the Microsoft Support website:

nothing happens
This is a feature design limitation of the Windows 8 Store App "Reader". The
Reader allows only a single instance running at a time.
In order to use Sonnets manual set, you need to install the latest version of Adobe Reader for the Windows 8
platform, then set Adobe Reader as the default program for PDF files. You can download Adobe Reader from
Adobes website: www.adobe.com.

Once you have downloaded and installed Adobe Reader, do the following to set the default.

1 Open the Windows Control Panel.

If you are unsure of how to access the control panel, enter Control Panel in the Search function in
your Start window.
