There's a good chance that the file you got is not actually a ColdFusion template (which can usually be edited in any text editor if it's not encrypted (if it is encrypted you'll see the word ColdFusion toward the top, but most of the document will be illegible), or viewed in Internet Explorer or another browser if you change the file extension to .html). There is a quirky behavior of the ColdFusion server in that, on occasion when it is used to provide downloadable files such as Acrobat PDF files, etc. the file name in your save as dialog is not the name of the original file but rather the name of the ColdFusion template which provided the file to you. The file itself is the original Acrobat PDF, Excell spreadsheet, etc. so you would need to find out what format it really is (from the webmaster of the site you downloaded it from) and then rename the file -- and I would make sure the webmaster knows that the downloads on their site are in error and need to be fixed.
