How do I get my return to download as a pdf? It will only save as a text file. I push the open button and nothing happens.

You cannot "open" a .pdf file.  It is like a photocopy of a document.  You can read or print it.

You need Adobe Acrobat to read it.

Try changing the .txt to .pdf.  That has worked for some people.
Or try downloading it using a different browser.

there are other free programs which can read and print pdf files. 

not being able to download as a pdf is usually a browser problem and has nothing to do with having a program that can read the file.   some browsers like Chrome have a pdf plugin which will allow you to read and print the file
