  Hi Saleh,
  I’ll troubleshoot the download like for PDF’s – I think I know what the issue is… thanks for letting me know.
  On subtitles, do you mean closed captioning, where the audio voice is available as text that maps along with the narrative? Right now I don’t have that capability, yet it is something that is possible to add in the future.
  Cheers,
  Fred
