Notepad won't open a PDF file properly.
It needs to opened with software like Adobe Acrobat reader, that will open a PDF fine. You might need to download it if you don't already have it.
If it keeps trying to open it with Notepad right click the PDF file, select "Open With..." and select Adobe Acrobat from the list.
That should sort it.

What he said. If you can't sort it let me know and I will come round and help. Thursday aside, I have no plans for the next fortnight....
