PDF

[LRM]

I recently changed my SD card to a larger one and notice on my old one I have a PDF file. I tried to open it and it won't open. I tried again with Microsoft XSL and it was opening however it was crypted messages and it was downloading over 4000 pages> Does anyone know what is on the PDF or how to open it to read it?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much.

May I add I saw it with a SD Card reader.

Welcome to Android Forums. A few questions: 1) Have you ever opened this PDF on the SD card it was transfer from, if so, was it crypted? How did/what did you use to transfer the PDF file to the new SD card?

I haven't used Microsoft XSL, so not sure how it works. There are alot of office apps that will allow you view PDF files. I use "Quickoffice Pro" and "Adobe Reader" to view/edit/create PDF files.

I've some attachments of spam email on my phone's Download folder which are trojans.
They won't harm my Android phone but they would harm my Windows PC.

If I've had started such unknown PDF file on my PC I'd run a anti-virus program on my PC.
Just my 2

PDFs are the numero uno Trojan Horse for malware!

Really?! My impression before this was that PDFs are pretty safe. I'm a contractor for DoD and AFAIK their email scans don't trap PDFs.
