when i download pdf files and store them, they are in notepad instead of acrobat.To view the file i have to go into acrobat then open the file, this is very annoying since i can not email this file in its original format pdf


help pls thanks
 
You should check to make sure your files association .pdf is acrobat.
 
Set the file association by right clicking on the pdf file, choose "open with" then choose Adobe acrobat reader, and check-off the "always use this" box

You can do it in file types for folder settings also but this way is quicker.

thanks but there is no "OPEN WITH" when i right click there is only an "OPEN" COMMAND it seems that upon download the notepad extention automatically attaches to the pdf files
 
Hope it is the same as NT...
single click to select the file.
hold down a shift key and RIGHT-click on it. The open with should appear, select it, and choose the acrobat program, and select the "Always Open" option.
Poof! you're there!

Good Luck
