Delete the email. Don't call them back under any circumstances. You don't owe Norton any money and won't be charged -- that's the scam, they're lying about that to try and get your personal info. Just cut them off and that will be the end of it.

That said,since you opened the PDF and visited a couple of scammy sites I would recommend scanning your PC for viruses, but after that, you should be fine.
