Another techie problem

[lindsay ormerod]

Being a stupid computer phobe has it's downsides and this is one of them !
I just tried to look at the pdf that Uncle Mick put on General Chat about panopticons.... I click on open, it downloads file and then when I go to look at said file there is nothing in it ; the egg timer thing goes round as if its going to do something then it goes back to the previous screen.
Help.......

have you got Adobe Acrobat reader installed? You will need it to open the PDF

This

PDF Write - Create, View, Edit and Print Files in Adobe Acrobat PDF Format

Thanks Mr D ! I have now installed Adobe acrobat and it works ! I got it from another site though as I didn't want to pay for it !
My old pc had it on and I just assumed this one did too ! ( Doh !)
Karma on way !

I'll give it a go then, as I know next to nothing about computers thought it best to ask rather than risk it, Thanks
