I'm having trouble viewing pdf files that I download from my browser. I get a "download complete" notification, but when I click on it the notification goes away and nothing opens up. When I go into the "Downloads" app in the app tray all of the files are there, but when I click on them it says the file can't be opened. The only way I can open them is if I go into adobe reader and find the file in there or go into the actual downloads folder via a file manager and open the file from there. Anybody know what the problem might be?

Somehow you may have an app that can't handle PDFs as the default file handler for that type.

You have to try and track it down and clear it as the default, then make Adobe Reader the default

You should be able to cleat all defaults by going into settings>apps>click menu and click clear defaults.
