John, thanks for figuring this out. I’ve sent this along to the Burning Man web team and the Art folks so they will be aware of what you ran into if anyone else has issues.

Problem solved:

I tried using several non-Adobe PDF readers in Linux, and than OS-X, and nothing was working. I finally broke down and went into a Windows XP virtual machine and installed Adobe Reader X, and it worked. This, of course, isn’t much of a surprise, since the instructions say you need that version of Adobe’s reader, but this is the first time my open source alternatives haven’t worked. Now we know! :p

Is it just me, for is there a problem with the Burning_Man_2011_Art_Grant_Proposal.pdf file? When I open it there’s just the text “To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade
to the latest version of Adobe Reader from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
For further support, go to http://www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html” I’ve tried several programs and versisons of Adobe’s PDF reader, but it seems like this is actually what the file contains. Weird. Any help?

Spot-on observation on how communities develop through the process. Our crew is going through withdrawal from the loss of those fun Sundays of building together. I think we’re going bowling after New Years.
