I searched for all possible problems.  I have only used one computer so I'm not trying to access a file downloaded to another computer.  I added Adobe Digital Editions as an excepted program under windows firewall.  What else could be the problem?

    Does the PDF open in Adobe Reader (or any other PDF reader, like Foxit)?

    No, it won't open with Adobe Reader.

    Can you open the file in a text editor and send me the first line? It sounds like you may not have a valid PDF. The first line should look something like:

    %PDF-1.6 %âãÏÓ

    What is the file extension of the file that appeared in the "My Digital Editions" folder?

    Under Properties, it says it is a PDF file with a pdf extension.
