ahh... I have been using Irfanview for my Image viewer for so long, I just assumed the graphic (which is what a basic PDF is, along with control codes for the embedded fonts, etc) displayed the same in any viewer. Apparently Irfanview figures out the graphic portion and displays it. I renamed a dozen different pdf that are on my desktop with the same results, the ALL open as a graphic in Irfanview.
