That was me.  I'm assuming the someone you're helping is still using 
Fetch 4.0.3, because Fetch 5 does not automatically open PDFs by 
default.

To fix Fetch 4.0.3:

* Choose "Post-Processing" from the "Customize" menu.  The 
Post-processing dialog will appear.

* Select the entry for Portable Document Format.

* Either Disable the entry, or Remove it.  (I recommend Disable, just 
in case you ever change your mind.)

* Click on OK.

Hope this helps,
