I swear I'm going crazy but for some reason whenever I go to check the syllabus as a pdf online like usual, and open up the search result that claims to be a 'pdf' it just takes me to the NESA website and a page that has the download option for a microsoft word document? Why can't I just open them on my browser as a pdf like I could literally like two days ago? Is this a me problem?

I know I can easily download them and open them since we get that software for free, but I hate having to swap windows or going split screen cause it just isn't my style of studying and my laptop honestly struggles to keep too many applications open at a time (unfortunate but that's just my reality).

Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? It's a small problem but it's just needlessly annoying for me

Genuinely I fucking hate word documents. Microsoft word is a fucking shit application and PDF will always be superior. Word is so fucking slow, you've got to be autistic to not notice.

This isn't a small problem, this genuinely is infuriating. It wastes your time everytime you want to quickly take a glance at the syllabus. Now you have to wait for word to load (which takes half a minute) plus it scrolls like shit

The new 2026 syllabuses aren't even in PDF, the new 2026 syllabuses are on their shitty website with nothing to download. So now NESA expects you to have an internet connection to view their shit on their hideous website

So you can export the word doc to a pdf.

easier to just download a pdf tho 🤷‍♀️
qol is only qol because it's not an essential feature... removing qol isn't going to break the functionality entirely but here like, why bother with that when we could just download it as a pdf
