Hi Bruce and Peter, Thanks for your help I have got it sorted. I can open them with Document Viewer by right clicking in the search files utility. now. The Adobe download didn't install, error "not i386 archetiture" so I am giving it up for lost for now. Thanks anyway.

I downloaded the file from Adobe and got a binary on my desktop but now I can't get any application to do anything with it and it won't run.
You have to download the "Linux x86 (.deb)" file: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/
Ubuntu is a "debian"-based distribution and debian packages have the ".deb" extension.
