Trouble downloading pdf files on Yahoo???
I have Adobe Reader 8.0, and have no trouble downloading to my AOL account. However, when I attempt to download a pdf file on my Yahoo account, it comes back with "Adobe Reader could not open [file name/pdf] because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an eMail attachment and wasn't correctly decoded."
I do not get the error message with AOL and the file downloads fine with AOL.
HELP! I do not want to keep my AOL acct but need to resolve this as well as the continuing problem downloading Excel files around 800 kb and above with Yahoo.
Thanks!

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
