Help with PDF Files

Acrobat Reader

Files in PDF format require free Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing (the full Acrobat software package is not required). This free application can be used as both an Internet browser plug-in or as a stand-alone program. Follow the downloading instructions and program documentation to properly install Acrobat Reader.

You may save a PDF file to your hard drive and use Acrobat Reader to view it at any time. To do this:

  • Open the PDF file (it will open in a new window)
  • Select the "floppy disk" icon in the upper left corner of the toolbar. A "Save a Copy..." dialog box will open. Select a destination for the PDF file and click on the "Save" button. (Windows-PC users should be sure to save the file with a .pdf extension).
  • Open Acrobat Reader and choose File > Open from the menu to open the PDF file you saved.
