PDF file download problem

I'm having problems downloading EJB specification in pdf format from java.sun.com site. After the download, when Acrobat Reader tried to open it it gives me the error "Not a %pdf file". Anyone knows what's the solution? I downloaded the postscript file but don't know which software to use to open it. Thanks.

You can use GSView to open postscript files. It is free software.

Thanks Jeanne. I'll check it out. Silly me didn't realize that I could always right click on the PDF file link, choose the save target option and then open it with Acrobat Reader.
