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.

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.

OK, in your 1st post you posted a screenshot of an IE download for a pdf file. Did you save that file somewhere? If so double click on that pdf file and it should open in the Adobe Reader you have in the screenshot in your last post. If you get the dialog in your 1st post, click on the arrow next to save, and choose Save as, then navigate to your desktop and save it there. Aftyer it downloads, double click it to open. You say
I have files in my documents ,such as user manuals .and I am trying to open them
well, double click on one, it should open in Adobe Reader.
