Saving PDF's

[Brian McIntosh]

I got an email through with a PDF document attached. When I right clicked on the PDF icon in the email, I clicked on save as in the pop up menu, saved it to my desktop and closed the email. When I went to open the PDF it asked me what program to open it with. When I went back into the email, opened the document and saved it to my desktop, it opens no problem every time. Is this a glitch or do you need to open PDF's to save them with the correct extension. I'm using Outlook 2007 if that makes a difference.

Might be a glitch.

Just choose Adobe Reader, or whatever and tick the wee bit that says "In the future, open with this program"

Have you recently reinstalled Adobe? That's normally the cause of whenever I get something like this.

Might be worth opening Adobe up and then opening the file from within Adobe. If that doesn't resolve it then it's likely a broken association as Stuart suggests above.

Another way to fix the broken association is to uninstall all instances of Adobe on your PC and then re-install it.
