1. Are you sure that it is a .pdf file? run file on it.
2. Did she put that file there?
3. If you are unsure of the file, use a sacrificial user (i.e.
create a new user named e.g. goat), have her email that file to
goat, then log in as goat, run mutt, save the file to its home
(or ~/uldl) directory, then start x, and try to open the file
with a pdf viewer (xpdf, kpdf, whatever).
4. If the file opens with a pdf viewer, what happens if you try to
print from the viewer?
