Thank you GG

You could try saving the document first, I have had to do this in the past.

Copy the PDF document over to your documents folder and then try opening it.

If I open it from download, it seems to be viewed as a web page. however, if I right mouse click I have the open to "show in folder". That seems to be working. Thanks for your help all GG

You don't need overblown Adobe Reader - use Sumatra pdf - get it from:

 

ninite.com

Or Foxit PDF reader.

For just reading Sumatra does the job - just had a refresher look at FoxIt and it jogged my memory of another excellent freebie:

 

Master PDF Creator which can also edit XPS files and allow you to sign your name - just like Foxit - I used Master PDF Creator whilst working on the unofficial manual for Zorin. It is cross-platform to boot and free for personal use:

Foxit is a good (free) product but for some reason they are now foisting Foxit Cloud onto users. I haven't found an opting out tick box when installing so it's a case of going into Programmes and removing it if you have no use for it. As per usual with free programmes the usual caveat applies - check the install process and terms before ticking 'I agree'. Also obtain it from the Foxit site itself.

Master pdf creator is also a good (free) product!
