    I'm confused. That is the Internet Explorer downloads window. It appears when you download a file. The download appears to be complete and it is asking if you want to save or open the file. You got this when clicking on a pdf file already on your PC? A Guy

    You just need to install Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions or another pdf viewer. If installing Adobe Reader make sure to uncheck the optional offer of McAffee Security scan otherwise it will install it by default.

    After you downloaded Adobe Reader, did you open it on the desktop and complete the install?

    Click this link to see it your Adobe reader is working:

    Be sure the pdf reader program has been installed properly. Should be able to open from the email. Alternatively, save the attachment to a location you choose. It should then open with a doubleclick. If not, right click it > see pictures. If none of this works, either it's not a valid pdf, or your pdf reader is not installed, or not registered by Windows, then browse for it and find the exe.
