The most common problem I have seen is people try to view them over the web by simply "left' clicking on the link. This tries to open the document for viewing across the internet, and 7 out of 10 times this will fail do to the size of the PDF files. I always recommend that you right click on a link and choose "Save". This will download the document to your computer for local viewing.

It is also possible that if you are on a dial-up or wireless connection (or other connection that has a higher rate of dropping), then the file may fail, without warning, partially through the download process. So it looks like the file downloaded, but you only got the 3/4s of it. This obviously makes the file corrupt and acrobat will not open it.
