Opening PDF documents

PDF is a universal file format that allows you to read, print or download a document from online while maintaining the fonts, graphics and general format of that document. You must have Adobe™ Acrobat™ Reader installed to view or download PDF documents. Readers are available at no charge for computers that use DOS, Macintosh, UNIX, and Windows operating systems.

Get a free copy of Adobe™Acrobat Reader™ by clicking on this icon: 
Adobe Acrobat
Don't forget that once you have downloaded the free reader software, you have to double click on the downloaded file to install it.

To view a PDF document, click on the document link and it will open in within your Adobe Acrobat Reader.

To download a PDF file, click using the right mouse button. A box from your browser will appear asking you if you want to save the file. Just specify where you want the file saved for future reference. Beside every icon, the size of the file is specified to let you know how long a file can take to download. Remember that depending on the speed of your modem, Internet traffic and your Internet provider, the download time can fluctuate.
