Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It turned out after checking the Default App settings the pdf files were opening with Reader but when I right clicked the downloaded files they were pointing to Word. I changed those files to point to Reader and all appears to be well. I'm happy to have this corrected but still would like to know why the general setting appeared to be correct but at the file location it was pointing to a different application to open. Any suggestions?
