Using Acrobat Reader

Some browsers open PDF files by default within the browser window, others download the PDF file to your computer. Depending on your computer and your intended use of the PDF, it may work best to first download PDF files from our site, and then open them directly in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

On a PC using Windows®, to download a file to your computer right-click on the file link and choose "Save Target As..." from the menu that appears. On a Macintosh®, try option-clicking the link. If these suggestions don't work, check your browser's help files to see how to download a file from its link to your hard drive or network.

Adobe has developed an online application to make PDFs accessible to people with disabilities and other special needs. For more information from Adobe about accibility and PDF files, visit Abobe's FAQs page. external link
