Maybe that's OT but a friend of mine gave me some files about medicine
with no permission
is there a script so i can read those files in ppt and pdf format.
I've tried hexdum -C medicine.ppt,to see if there was something where
i can change the ownerships but i wasn't able to go through,i've also
tried chmod +rw medicine.ppt no way as well

You have to be root to change the ownership of a file, or be the owner
to change the permissions.

How did he "give" them to you?
Normally files you receive and/or create have your owner ID on it.
