I THINK this is legitimate and actually something I want, but nervous about opening. Can't email back to sender because it's a company with a "no reply" address!

It can be a virus.
Normally I delete them if I did not send for any info, but if it really sounds interesting scan it with an updated anti-virus program before opening it. I even do this for ANY attachments sent by friends just in case they send me a virus unknowingly.
AVG is the one I use.
The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)

I've never had an Adobe Acrobat Reader file that contained a virus before. If you're unsure, always scan the file with your virus program first before you open it.

i have never heard of a pdf having a virus on it. if you don't have virus scanner email it to your yahoo accont and see it this there is a virus on it . there is minimal risk in saving the file and virus scanning it if you are worried about it being on your computer.

I agree with what was said earlier, if you aren't expecting it and don't know who sent it, delete it.
