Can anyone tell me what a PDF file is. A friend has sent me an email with an attachment. I clicked on it and the options of find, Save or cancel comes up. Eventually it saved in my downloads but wont open. Why I dont know! It says something about adobe and acrobat. What can I do?:confused:

go here Adobe - Adobe Reader Download - All versions (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html) and download acrobat reader. PDF is portable document format, and it's a bit more accessible than a word document, just you can't edit it (or at least not easily)

See, for example: Nasty PDF exploit runs wild | The Register (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/24/pdf_exploit_in_the_wild/)

I'd guess I've recieved about 1000 .pdf files this year. I think 1 was genuine.
