Thanks for the quick reply - The message reads - 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.' As far as I know most if not all of the members use some form of acrobat.
What is interesting is that a member, who I do not have problems reading his PDF's, sent me the same files sent to him from these folks and they opened with no problem.
I have asked all three to send me what their basic setup is, only one has replied to the moment. = IAdober Reader XII, Acrobat Professional 6.0 and O.S Windows XP Professional
