Thanks.
PDF files are normally opened using Adobe's software. Its reader is
completely free and usually comes pre-installed on Windows machines. I
don't understand why the Adobe web site should freeze unless Adobe has a
temporary problem with its web server. I just tried it myself and found
no problem. Just click the "Get Adobe Reader" button. Perhaps the Adobe
Reader is on a CD that came with your computer ???
OpenOffice in and of itself can't open PDF files. You could try the
OpenOffice extension at
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport which, as
you can see, is quite new. Please note that, as stated on the web site,
this software is still in Beta testing.
