Forgot to mention - readers for PDF are free.

Windows Mail has a known bug, where you have to save the pdf attachment to
disk before you can open it. "Teresa" <Teresa@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:71568CF7-D97C-4DED-95EA-28E3AF17C2C0@microsoft.com... > Since we switched to Vista I'm unable to open/read PDF file attachments > when > receiving emails. |

I have upgraded to the Windows Live Mail beta (which is due to replace
Windows Mail soon) and it does not have this problem - I just double click and the PDF opens, for me in acrobat reader. WLM beta is available here - http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas "Roland Bierlein" <robier@gmx.de> wrote in message news:f4jud1.5ms.1@insigne.cervisiola.de... > Buenas tardes: *Teresa* escribió: > >> Since we switched to Vista I'm unable to open/read PDF file attachments >> when >> receiving emails. > > This happens to many users.

Teresa,
Go to www.adobe.com and download and install Adobe Reader 8 (its free) and then you will be able to open and read PDF files.
