Warning!!!
Adobe Flash and Reader have become a haven for viruses. Make sure that
the reason you can't read it isn't because you are using Linux and the
virus infected PDF file is Windows specific. I would think twice before
unleashing anything from Adobe on a Windows computer. I'm not saying
that it is a virus infected PDF file but the circumstances sound
suspicious.
