There is another version on csdn.net:
http://download.csdn.net/detail/leeshs/5157746

And if that is the right one, here is a way to get an
offline version of the document:

 - Open the URL in FireFox
 - Enable the Developer Tools (CTRL-SHIFT-I)
 - Select the Network Tab and reload the Page
 - Look for a large file which comes from 
   preview.download.csdn.net as octet-stream
 - Copy the URL (right click, Copy URL)

Make sure swftools and wget are installed on your Linux 
system, then do:

wget -O Paper.swf 'http://preview.download.csdn.net/new/swf...='
swfcombine -o A2S70.swf /path/to/simple_viewer.swf viewport=Paper.swf
open the A2S70.swf in FireFox and enjoy

Best,
Herbert
