Download the
Adobe Acrobat Reader
If you have come across an Adobe Acrobat file here and don't
know what to do with it, the first thing you need is the Acrobat
Reader. The Reader will allow you to view the files in their
formatted form and is available free from Adobe:
Get
the Reader
If you
have the Reader, then you can choose to either
open the Acrobat file in your browser (just by clicking on the link) or you can download it
for viewing directly with Acrobat (by using the menu which appears when you
click with the right mouse button).
It
is often best to download it first and then open up Acrobat,
instead of using your browser. If the file is a large one, using
your browser can take quite some time. An explanation of
downloading Acrobat files is below. (If your browser
is giving you troubles when you try to open these files, you may need to upgrade it.
You can follow the links on the left for Explorer or Netscape to
get the download.)
To download Acrobat files to your machine without
opening them in your browser:
1. Right click on the link (Mac users
click-and-hold)
2. Select "Save Target As" or
"Save Link As" from the pop-up menu.
3. Give the file a name and make a note
of the directory in which you are saving it, then click "Save".
4. To view the file, open up Adobe
Acrobat on your computer and then open up the saved file from within Acrobat.
