Using Adobe Reader to View PDF Files

Web users need to have the free Adobe Reader program installed and linked to their web browsers to view PDF images. Instructions and system requirements for downloading and attaching the viewer for both PC and Apple platforms follow:

•  Go to the Adobe Reader free download page: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.
   
• Choose your language, platform, and connection speed on Step 1 of 2. Your selection will determine the version of software that you will download.
   
• As soon as you choose your language, platform, and connection speed on Step 1, Step 2 of 2 will be displayed.
   
• By default, you will download the full version using Adobe Download Manager. The full version allows you to:
  • Search PDF files
  • Activate accessibility features built into PDF files
  • View Photoshop® Album slide shows and electronic cards, extract pictures, and order prints
  • Play back embedded movies, animation, and sound
  • View, organize, and purchase eBooks
     
• Click the "download" button. Make note of where the downloaded file is being saved on your computer.
   
• After the download is complete, some computers will start to install automatically. If your computer doesn't start to install the software, double-click the newly downloaded file and follow the instructions on your screen. If there is a failure at any point during the installation of Adobe Reader, the installer performs a complete uninstall. For this reason, it is important not to close the installer application by clicking its close box in the upper right corner of the background window after clicking the "Thank You" dialog box that appears at the end of the installation. If you wait for a second or two, the installer will automatically close the background windows after the installation is complete. The installation procedure will ask you to read and accept the Electronic End-User License Agreement.
   
• Now you are ready to view PDF files. To view a file, simply click on the link on the web page. Adobe Reader will automatically be called up to allow you to view (and / or print) the file.
