What is a PDF file and how do I access it?
PDF files are documents which can be read on any computer. You
simply need the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in to read them. You
can read these documents directly on your computer or can print
them out and read them elsewhere. PDF files maintain all the
original layout of a document and, therefore, make it easy to
share these documents across the Internet. (The layout of a
Web page, an HTML file, can vary significantly from one browser
to another).
How do I get the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in?
If you have Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later or Internet Explorer
4.0 or later, Adobe Acrobat Reader is already part of your browser
and you can open any pdf file simply by clicking on the link.
If you have an older version of these two browsers or a different
browser, you may need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader. It's
quick and easy. Go to http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html
and you can download the program file there. Remember to bookmark
this page so you can return to it!
