I am trying to download a Pacer docket file on a Mac and it shows up as "show_temp.pl" on my computer.
Does anyone know how to read the text file then?
Thank you

I am not a Mac person, but an expert on PC. (40 yrs mainframe and PC). First, you have to have Acrobat Reader installed on your Mac. If you do not, that is your problem. After you read the file open in Acrobat Reader, then you may save it to your drive. I suggest renaming it by number and your own description. That is all I can do for you.

Thanks, in the meantime, I was able to figure it out.
The trick is to not "save" the file, but rather click "Open with" within Pacer, then select Adobe Reader.
It seems if you save it on a Mac, you then cannot easily open it with Adobe
Go figure
Thanks for the response in the meanwhile thoughComment

Yes, just "Save As" and change the document type. They use a "perl" script to download the document, so your Safari browser is adding ".PL" to the end, and not knowing what type of document it really is.

Also, Safari will generally display a PDF file in the window, or if you don't have Acrobat Reader installed, it will call up Preview to view the file.C7 Filed: 2009-11-06
