Latest problem: computer did an auto upgrade, then all my pdfs turned into "e" pdfs that won't open. the "e" logo looks like the e in the internet explorer brower.

Solution
That latest update changed the default program for pdf files. You can change this by going to Settings>System and there Default Apps. If you click on the choose default apps by file type, scroll down to.pdf and click on the program that is listed to open it and it should give a list of programs that can open these files. Just select the one you want to use.
