As for the PDF I have been playing around with "Nitro PDF" which I downloaded after learning about it in this forum. I don't know if it will open locked pdf though.
thats alright, you were kind enough to try to help me, so thanks.

Fantastic!!! thanks so much for helping me out! i couldn't continue the build untill i figured it out, as the part i am working on goes inside. thank you!

I concur...place three coins for balance weight, but no indication of just how much weight is required.
(Would have been a better idea to specify a total gram amount.)
Might require assembly and test to determine the correct amount.
Obvioulsy other things can also be used in place of coins (plasticene? putty?)
thats ok. as far as i can tell, pennies should do fine.
