Hi,

I downloaded a document to Disk D and my computer says it does not have an application to do it.

Any advice on a program for opening PDF'S offlone,

go to www.adobe.com... You can download Acrobat reader for free from there.

Why are you downloading to your d: drive? If you already have a .pdf reader then it's probably located on your c: drive and your d: drive doesn't point to c: drive.

you need a new computer, those lenovos and dells are notorious for this fault. try asus.

I've tried them both guys,

Tried to open it on disc C but it says I don't have a program to open PDFs.

Went to Adobe .com and the started asking me to sign up for a free trial.

And that I should change my password after a month and they would send me an email.

Nothing happened,I got Adobe download assistant but I don't want much more to do with them.

How about a Firefox add on.

You should be able to install Acrobat Reader from here http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/ uncheck the 'optional offer' if you don't want the McAfee security trial.

Better to use Foxit. It's faster than Adobe Reader and free too.

Foxit-Done and dusted.

Thank you

My pleasure

As said Foxit is a very good and fast reader for PDF files and can work inside and outside of browsers.

Hope that you didn't install any of the unwanted addons that Foxit bundle with their install.

You are right. I always use L: ...

Im also wandering if you have been to the IT Centers & got the al the programs installed across from the shop wher purchased

Your Downloaod Manager may not be working which will show up as a sign in in Thai

Happened to me had to go back after 6 mths or so since i couldnt download one so they installed a new one which pops up a warning every 30 secs

Does foxit allow me to edit a document and return it to sender? Adobe allows me to highlight but not to change any copy (unless I buy the full version, which I may do if no other solution).

Also, is foxit useable on ios? Be nice to have it on my ipad.

Appreciate any help.

If you Google "PDF Reader" you will discover many PDF readers and editors - some free and some for sale.

The free PDF reader I like best is http://www.nitroreader.com/download

It allows you to edit, make typewriter type entries, sign, save and pass on the document. Also allows you to enter pre-defined fields in Acrobat documents.

Firefox opens PDF natively nowadays. Just check that you have the current version.

Nonsense. All you need is a PDF reader on any computer that doesn't have one.

HI there

If your computer can not open PDF files automatically,you can try to install a PDF program which supports to open or read PDF files directly.

There are many third party tool for PDF processing.And most of them offer a free trial for new users.YOu can just google for it.

Best wishes.

Flame removed.

Under no circumstances install that Adobe crap! Apart from being bloatware it is perpetually insecure!

Foxit or PDF-XChange are both good.

Just an afterthought. The next time you can't open a file, you may be lacking a file association. Right-click on the file and choose "open with" and see if there is a program shown that will open it. If there is, check the box that says "always use this program for this file type" or something like that.

Pure, unadulterated sh*t.

As said above, Foxit or PDF-XChange.

There are reasons to have Adobe Reader however - filing FBAR for US members is one of them as they are set up for signing using Adobe. There is no reason to make it your PDF default reader however - still have Foxit for that.
