The Mac defaults to Preview for PDFs. You should have that application inside your Applications folder. Try dragging the file you want to open onto the Preview application icon. It should open it.

Hi Deploy, what version of OS are you running?

You can install adobe pdf viewer if you like, but try preview first as suggested.

Also to add to the above, ensure that the file extension of the pdf is .pdf and not .doc.

I agree that we need to know what version of Mac OS you are using .... it makes all the difference.

OK, THanks first for the replies it really helps.

What I did was Grab the page into previewer, it still looks the same. No PDF, I also downloaded abode installer, But that doesn't seem to automatically convert it either.

my OS x version 10.4.11 Kyomii....any next steps?

You haven't said whether or not the file extension is .pdf ....
