How long have you waited to see if the pdf loads?  An alternative (and probably better) option is to right-click on the link to the pdf and save it.  You can then read it offline at your leisure.
Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.

      Did you try downloading the file then reading it from your HD as suggested?
      Google foxit to avoid using the adobe virus.

        My suggestion is Foxit too. It takes a lot to load Adobe.
        And don't underestimate Malwares ;) Check for Viruses, spywares, adwares, etc...
