I was following this example:

http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/FILESTREAM/67668/

However, I am a little concerned now. I thought that I should see a file in the folder that I set up as the path for the files to get stored that I can then open with Adobe reader. There is a file there but when I try to open with Adobe Reader it says it can't.
