If you don't see a Save As dialog box, your browser may have downloaded the file automatically, possibly in a separate. Make sure Adobe Acrobat Document is selected for the file type, and save the file. Right-click (Windows) or control-click (Mac OS) the link to the PDF file. Usually, if I have an issue, one of my computer literate friends can fix me up in no time. Download the PDF and open it in Acrobat Reader DC or Acrobat DC.
