You can 'open' the PDF in Photoshop, but it will rasterize it i.e. it will convert the vectors (outlines and fills) to pixels, at whatever resolution you choose.
You need Illustrator to work with the vector version. Illustrator CS/CS2 will open both the PDF and the .ai versions. The true vector file can be scaled infinitely without losing quality (as opposed to scaling the bitmap original)
You can use Acrobat (full or reader) to open the pdf.

Ok, I pulled it up just now at school, and as I knew it would be, it was excellent! Thanks so much for doing this, I wish I could compensate you for it.

It's been rumored around that I'll do anything for beer and crisps 
In all seriousness, if you want to do graphics for a living, you need to sink your teeth into Illustrator, there's no way around it.

Oh, I know, I always planned to. I just need time, and the software itself. I've gotten my school to give me a copy, but I haven't installed it yet.
