Tips for Using PDF Files

GETTING THE READER

You must have the free Acrobat Reader installed to view files in PDF format. Click on this link to get the Reader.

ONE COMMON PROBLEM

If you have the Reader installed but cannot open the files directly in your web browser, try saving the file to your hard disk (in Windows, right-click and choose Save As) and opening the saved copy. This problem may occur if the browser PDF plug-in is not correctly installed, or if the browser you are using does not support such a plug-in.

DISPLAY QUALITY

If you have a laptop or an LCD monitor, you can adjust the quality of your display by using Adobe’s CoolType feature. In the Reader, choose Edit / Preferences / Display. Place a checkmark to turn on CoolType and then adjust its display quality. This can make a big difference.
