Do you have any type of PDF reader available (installed) on your computer?
If so you need to set the file associations so that a PDF file is opened
within the reader.

If you don't have one installed, there are a few available on the internet
for free.

The one I generally use (it's a lot less "bloat" than Adobe Reader) is Foxit
Reader from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader_2/down_reader.htm

Some also like Adobe Reader from
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html?promoid=BUIGO (but turn
off the Google toolbar before you download and install by turning off the
checkmark on the displayed page.

PDF files are Adobe Acrobat files and you need the correct "ActiveX"
from Adobe to be install so as the see them correctly.

Thanks for the suggestions, but still not opening. Probably because I did not
give you enough info:
I have a couple PDF viewers: PDF-XChange viewer (great little viewer) and
Adobe 8.0 .......... Have no problem opening other PDF files on my hard drive
and also can open PDF files on other web sites -- strange!
Any other thoughts? New job and all, I don't want to call the company and
find out the problem was @ my end.
