The file is just a PDF.

No harm will be done if you are not in Windows.

But to do the faucet you need a script, and I would verify it before doing anything

PDF can contain virus...

do a simple google search

i get this info:

http://www.malwaretracker.com/pdfthreat.php

basically, the malicious behavior in PDF malware is contained within one or more embedded scripts.
These embedded scripts can be written in any of the PDF supported scripting languages, with JavaScript being the most popular.
