PDF problem

[Brent]

While in the email program?

 Epiphany is a browser so clicking on a PDF will save the file, hence 
the download window, unless you associate another action with that file 
type. Once a file is downloaded right click to get the menu. Choose 
Properties and then go to the Open tab to select Open Office, Evince or 
Acrobat to associate with this type of file. Once the OS know how to 
deal with that file it should open them directly without the download.

You wrote originally..." i am using Ubuntu 9.04 with Epiphany and cant 
read PDF from emails" and, as I understand it,  this is confusing as 
emails do not have anything to do with your browser.
