Solutions if image links do not return you to the page, you were on

For the best experience with the clickable image links in our PDF catalogue, we recommend the following options:

Option 1 – Download and open in Adobe Reader (recommended for PC and Mac users)

  • Save the catalogue to your computer.
  • Open it in Adobe Reader (free to install if you don’t already have it).
  • The links will work correctly, and you can return to the page you were on.
  • If you do not already have Adobe Reader installed, you can download it free from Adobe’s website here:
    👉 Get Adobe Acrobat Reader

Option 2 – Use Microsoft Edge

  • Press the ⊞ Windows key on your keyboard.
  • Type Edge and press ↵ Enter.
  • In Edge, open our catalogue again, the links will return you to the page you were on.

Option 3 – Use Firefox

  • Open the catalogue in Firefox.
  • Firefox handles PDF navigation correctly, so when you click a link and then go back, it will return you to the page you were last viewing.
  • If you do not already have Firefox installed, you can download it free from Mozilla’s website here:
    👉 Get Mozilla Firefox

Option 4 – Google Chrome (workaround)

  • Right-click on any image link and choose “Open link in new tab” (or “Open link in new window”).
  • When you close that tab or window, the catalogue will still be open on the page you left.
  • Please note: if you use Chrome’s Back button, it will always return you to page 1 of the PDF. This is a limitation of Chrome, not an issue with our catalogue.
