Sorry, how do I open the downloads? Is there some kind of software that I need?

I can't think of much else you'd need than a PDF reader and something that opens .zip & other archives. Is there a particular download you're having trouble with?

If the file extension is .pdo you need the Pepakura viewer to open and print it.
Pepakura Designer Click on Download on the left of the screen.

and....

if the extension is .rar or .zip
then you need a program that unzips or extracts archived/compressed files.
(I use Power Archiver, which handles any type of archive file and can also create them for you.)

if the extension is .pdf
then you need an Adobe PDF type viewer
There are a number of different kinds of PDF viewers
(and there are also PDF creation programs)

Then there are specific imaging programs files, like:

.psd files are Photoshop files
.cdr is Corel Draw
.cpp is Corel Photo Paint

and many many more
