Make sure the file you have downloaded is a .pdf file. If it has some other type of file extension that could be the problem. If the file you downloaded is a compressed (zip) file it will have to be "unzipped" before you can use it.
Post what/where the file is and I'll try it.

The Adobe PDF reader can be buggy. I use "Foxit Reader" which is an alternate to the Adobe PDF reader. I've been using this for about a year and it works without problems. It can be downloaded HERE
