I thought that would work also, but it creats a new file like this
AVR_1_189084018152/AVR13H_0238.BIN.cpgz
PDF is not a compress file, just view it in Acrobat reader or pro.
If you wish to extract the images from the pdf open it in photoshop or illustrator
If it were simply a .pdf then double clicking would open Acrobat Reader, but the original poster said that produced a .cpgz file. I don't know what that is, but I'll bet double clicking it produces a .zip file, which will produce a .cpgz file, etc. etc.
I encountered this problem for the first time today. Unzipping just produced a .cpgz file, which would unzip to a .zip, which would unzip to a .cpgz ...
None of the proposed diagnoses or solutions I found on the web worked either. The file was neither too large nor unfeasibly small, it had finished downloading, neither finder nor stuffit expander would do it.
Then I found buried away in a post a link to The Unarchiver. It's free, and it worked.
