Do you have a pair of those 3-d glasses around. If so put those on and look at it. When that doesn't work, come back to FG and wait for Bryn or Spot to answer.:cool:

This is way over your head Jimbo, Don't even try to figure it out. Go to the pub and have a few beers then you really won't care. After that it is just gibberish to throw you off.

Yup, looks to me like you need to download Adobe reader then it will automatically open it up.

Well according to hubby, you need adobe to open it with,

Jimbo, show us (or PM) a link to the file, and then we'll be able to tell you.

Well I don't think it's a PDF file even if you do. What would Jimbo be doing with a PDF file in the first place, if it comes to that. I think it's a badly configured server that he's hit.

Stand aside Jess, Tombstone and I are squaring up to expose our gnarly credentials - it'll be as fun to watch as sumo wrestling.

Hi Jimbo-

I've had this same foreign cryptic language and tried to open with adobe but no luck. I've also asked my computer to auto open an application and still no luck.

What you do is ask who sent this file and tell them it is not readable and ask what you need to do to read it.
