    Looks like you need Adobe Acrobat Reader. That will open up .PDF files without jibberish. Go to Following URL to the Main Site to download Acrobat Reader:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
    its free and you'll be able to read any .PDF manual file

    henryhll,

    *.pdf file open with Acrobat Reader. If you don't have it on your system (and you probably don't or you woudn't get the prompt) you can download it from here.
