I'm assuming you're using Windows.Originally posted by Theophilus:
How do I rename it to a .pdf file.
To make renaming easier, you need to be able to see the extensions. This can be done via Folder Options under Tools in an Windows Explorer window.
To rename the file, right click on it and select Rename from the pop-up menu. This will allow you to then delete the .pl extension. When you do that, then the icon should change to a WinZip one. You can then have a go at extracting the PDF from the zip file.
The reason you are seeing gibberish in Word is because both zip and pdf files are binary files formats and aren't in a human readable form.
