I assume the link is opening with Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) in your web browser? Try saving the link (right click and save target or save link) and then opening the file from your hard disk.
Reply:The reason could be this. Sometimes, if certain program is corrupted, after repeated installation, it keeps on overwriting the program in the program files folder in C directory.





So you please delete the "Adobe" folder in the program files folder and then reinstall the Adobe program again. This should solve your problem mostly.
Reply:Try right click on file itself,then choose save as


watch where you save file.


This will download file to your computer.


Then you can open it.
