Hello, In various websites I download a document and it goes into my Downloads folder wearing an .aspx extension.
The only way I can open it is to manually change the extension to .pdf when Preview will open it without fuss. The other solution I have just discovered is that by right clicking on the link in Mail and selecting 'download linked file', the file appears in my Downloads folder with a .pdf extension such as ShowPage.aspx.pdf, whereas if I simply click on the link it comes through as ShowPage.aspx I am looking for a solution that doesn't require me to do this as it will help others in the family, and me! Apple Support forums doesn't seem to have come up with any better solution, and even if I set the 'Open with' in File Info, to Preview, it won't work as Preview doesn't like the .ASPX extension I understand this is a windows file extension and the web site developers could just as easily create the download in .pdf format which would make it complaint cross platform.
