Here's the work-around I've been using (maybe it will help, who knows ;)): Right click on "See it now" link. Then, click on "Save Target As", until an option to save the file with an "html" extension presents itself. Close the box. Now, right click on "See it now" link (yes, again), then right click on "Save Target As" (again); there will now be an option to save the file with a "text" extension. Save the file. Once saved, it opens as a PDF (if not, see below). The idea is to save with a "text" file extension, not "html" (it doesn't work). If for some reason it doesn't open as a PDF (just as often, it opens in WordPad, translated as gibberish), then open Acrobat Reader. Click on the "Open" folder icon. Make sure "all files" (not just "Adobe PDF files") can be viewed. Then, double click on the saved file (it has a WordPad icon), opening it from within the Reader, then save as a proper PDF file. Lastly, erase the now worthless text file. Just to clarify: WotC is aware of problems with downloads, even going so far as to admit that the problem is on their end, not ours. See the Digital Insider news items.
