Right-click the link to the pdf and select "Save Target As", then save to your desktop  After the file has been downloaded to your desktop, double-click the file and report what happens.

Can you show us the web page linking to the PDF you're trying to download?

I'm glad to hear that ythe issue you had with opening Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files from the web has been resolved.  My general advice is to download PDF files first before opening them, to prevent Windows system instability resulting from the interaction between Internet Explorer and Adobe Acrobat Reader running as an IE Plugin.

I would honestly suggest you guys use Opera or firefox instead of IE.

There's nothing wrong with IE if you have your latest Windows Updates installed and you don't install from almost every dodgy web site that asks you to install a plugin Smiley
