Whenever I try to open a PDF file .. your program saves the file but then I do not know which program to use to open it. I'm using windows 2000. When I click on browse what program do I need to make the file open. It comes up in word as a bunch of symbols. Previously with internet exploxer I just clicked on the link and the doc opened.
