Acrobat PDF File Downloading
Instructions |
Adobe
Acrobat Portable Document Format "PDF" is a widely used file format and method
for creating, distributing. and viewing document
files.
To view PDF files on your computer
(instead of attempting to view them over the Internet through your browser,
Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 or later is needed.
You can download
the latest version of Acrobat Reader FREE from Adobe's site, for Windows,
Macintosh, and Unix.
IMPORTANT: While
it is possible, in many browsers, to attempt to VIEW Acrobat PDF files over the
Internet, it can be time consuming and troublesome. The usual intent is that
you DOWNLOAD PDF files to your computer's hard disk and then view them and
print them from your hard disk, at your leisure. Unfortunately, many
browsers, including Netscape and Internet Explorer, attempt to automatically
VIEW/READ PDF files rather than to DOWNLOAD them. To DOWNLOAD and SAVE a PDF
file for later viewing or printing, you must:
either hold the SHIFT KEY WHILE CLICKING the
link OR RIGHT CLICK the link and select the option for either
"SaveAs", "Save File As", "Save Link As", "Save Target As" or some similar
option. These actions should
display a "Save File" dialog box. The saved file must end with ".pdf" or
".PDF". Before starting, you may wish to make a folder on your hard disk to
contain such downloaded files. |
