Alex pay attention to Tom and Claudio. You need to follow the directions carefully.  

What Tom is saying pertains to installing the Acrobat Reader and NOT the PDF file.  

When you go to a website to install the Reader program you need to save it to disk (your hard drive).  Then get off the Internet and find the .exe file you just saved.  

Then double click on it to install the Reader. After you have installed Reader you should see icons for Adobe Acrobat Reader either on your desktop or in the Start | Programs directory.  

Once it's completely installed only then can you open a PDF. Just downloading the .exe file does you no good.  

Basically this is not an Adobe issue it's a user issue.
