Perhaps you might provide the readers of your report with a little
information, since most people here aren't actually psychic. Consider
mentioning:
- What the URL of the PDF file you are attempting to download is
- WHAT THE FULL, EXACT TEXT OF THE ERROR MESSAGE YOU GET IS
- What PDF reader you have installed
- Whether that has a browser plugin active or not
- Whether you're trying to download the PDF (right click -> save as)
or read it embedded in the browser

That's not a URL.
Perhaps you meant:
http://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/pdf/8.3/postgresql-8.3-A4.pdf
which is accessed by visiting http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/
and clicking on the link "Comprehensive Manual: A4 PDF (16.5 MB)" in the
8.3 version row.
If that's not the file you were trying to download, please say which one
you WERE attempting to download.
There is nothing wrong with that file. Most likely there's something
wrong with your Adobe Reader install, your browser plugin, or your
browser install. Adobe Reader's netscape/firefox plugin has always been
flakey.
Try saving the file to your desktop (right click, "Save Link As...") and
opening the downloaded PDF directly from Adobe Reader, rather than via
your web browser.
