Hi! I understand that your paystub says it's downloaded, but you don't see it listed in Adobe's PDF list. Let's get to the bottom of this.

First, just to clarify, when you say it’s not showing in Adobe’s list, do you mean you’ve opened Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader and the document isn’t appearing in the recent files or library? Or are you trying to find it in your device’s file explorer and then open it with Adobe?

Here are the steps we can try to locate and open the paystub PDF properly:

1. Check the Download Location:
Sometimes, the app saves downloads to a default folder (like "Downloads").
- Open File Explorer on your Windows 10 device.
- Navigate to your Downloads folder or the folder your browser/app uses for downloads.
- Look for the paystub PDF file there. The filename might have today's date or the company's name.

2. Open the File Directly:
- Once found, right-click the PDF file.
- Choose “Open with” and select Adobe Acrobat Reader (ensure you have the desktop app installed if not already).

3. If Adobe Acrobat Reader is Not Installed/Updated:
Make sure you download and install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader from Adobe’s official website, as it handles PDFs more reliably than browser-based viewers. Sometimes, older or unsupported versions may cause issues displaying PDFs downloaded from certain apps1.

4. Search by File Type:
If you don’t see the file in Downloads, try searching your computer:
- Click the Windows Start button, type *.pdf in the search bar, and press Enter.
- Look for recently modified PDFs from the date/time you downloaded the paystub.

5. If Still Not Found:
Try downloading the paystub again from the eHub app, and watch for any prompts indicating where the file is being saved.

If these don’t help, a good next step is ensuring the paystub actually completed downloading correctly on your system. Let me know if you see any error messages or if the download looks incomplete.

How does this sound? Would you like me to guide you through any of these steps?
