If a file has a PDF extension doesn't make it a PDF (Portable Document Format) file.

Are you sure you created a PDF file? Or, did you just change its extension from (for example) XLS to PDF?

Well, don't do that. It was just as if you labeled your Mini Cooper a Ferrari. If you want to open a file using Acrobat Reader, it MUST be a PDF file.

One way is to install a virtual PDF printer. It is a software which allows you to print the output into a PDF file - you'll see it as if it was a real printer. So, instead of printing onto your HP2200 printer, you'd use that "PDF printer". One of free PDF writers is CutePDF.
