Zip Folder Is Downloading Incorrectly as PDF File

  • 0

I am sent a link from someone else to download a Zip folder and when it is completely downloaded it is not a ZIP folder, it is a PDF File. I think someone messed with my setting in my computer somehow and changed the Open With Program to Adobe Reader. How Do I get it back to where thefle downloads as a ZIP Folder?

      If the downloaded file has a filename ending with the letters .pdf, it probably is a pdf file. Nothing wrong with your PC. You were probably sent the wrong link.

      Have you tried creating your own zip folder?
      On the desktop, click New > Compressed (zipped) Folder.
      The folder icon should have a zip running down it.
      Try to open that folder.

      If the icon has a zip on it, and it opens as a folder in a new window, there is nothing wrong with your settings for zip folders.
