Description:
Friend sent a wmf file via emial. Clicked on paper clip and file appreared below the email. Then dragged the wmf file to Mac Easy Open on the desktop. It first gave me 5 choices to open and had Acrobat hi-lighted, used that and got the following errow message.
There was an error opening this documentl Filedoes not begin with "%PDF-". No matter what I tried thats what I get. Can't find what to do to rectify the problem. This is from a screen saver program Slideshow ultra I gave hiim for a birthday so really want to get it work! Really am intermediate in most things but not PDF!! obviously. Acrobat 3.01 shows on hard disk but Apple menu Acrobat info says version 2.1. Problem? Thank you for a really good magazine and Website. Enjoy both very much. Jeanne

Hi and welcome to No Wonder
A file ending in .wmf means it is a Windows Metafile.
To open this you need a program which supports this format.
The only program which comes to mind is GraphicConverter.
Download it from here
