It is not clear what your problem is, but I might be able to offer some assistance. Since I use mostly Firefox, my comments will lean towards how that handles links.
If I click on a link that downloads as PDF, I will get a blank tab. (Pet peeve: Links that download a file without telling me it is doing so.) Anyway, although I get a blank page, a file is downloaded which can be accessed by clicking tools/downloads.
Now, what to do with that file? It depends on what kind of file it is. If it is a pdf, Adobe Reader should open it, assuming you have it on your computer. Personally, I use the free Foxit Reader as it does not pull nearly the resources as Adobe. It has served me well.
If it is an image file, there is likely a program on your computer that will read that, too, although many people use the free http://www.irfanview.com/
For other file extensions, you might have to determine what program you need. Or perhaps your computer is pointing to the wrong program to open a file.
Does this get you a little closer to where you want to be? I am an accountant so I appreciate the urgency, although you can always file an extension.

Miriam, it's not clear to me what you are trying to do. What are you linking? What software are you using? Are you just trying to view webpages?
You mention 'Dss.axd(application/pdfobject)'. A pdf document is like a photo or a fax, you can't copy the actual data from it and plug it into anything.

Please I'm desperate - trying to do my taxes!!! If I try to link on to a page from an email or a page open in my browser. For instance I'm going to my bank account or other financial places to get my year end info and tax documents,
