Your post makes no sense whatsoever

To open a pdf file you need a pdf reader installed, from eg www.adobe.com

BTW your caps lock is stuck, which is considered shouting

caps meant shouting! i do not know why it says "pdf" file it just does when
i find the downloaded file it says pdf next to it i do not know why or what
it is. by the way DL thanks for making me feel two inches tall i am just

Hi, Nikki. I noticed that in your reply to DL, you stopped "shouting."
Thank you.

My responses follow and are "in-line":

It is very hard to make out what you are trying to say. Here's my guess:

You are successfully downloading PDF (Portable Document File) files, but
you lack the proper application to view them. For more information on
the PDF format, please read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format

Simply speaking, a PDF file will look the same on all computers (unlike
Word or HTML files). But you need a program to view them. Adobe is the
standard. You can go to http://www.adobe.com and click on the button
that says "Get Adobe Reader." Personally, I recommend another program
that uses far less resources: Foxit Reader, which can be downloaded from
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/ . Just click on the link that says "Foxit
Reader 2.0 for Windows."

What was the name of the program you downloaded?

Also, a friendly suggestion: Using proper punctuation and grammar will
guarantee better responses because far more people will be able to
understand you. Please also see "Goodpost" at:
