Adobe® Reader® is free software that allows everyone from business professionals to home users to easily and reliably view, print, and search PDF files using a variety of platforms and devices.

This is the file format used for many of our online publications. PDF files are non-platform-specific, meaning you can view them on almost any computer operating system (Windows; Macintosh or OS2 system etc.)

Once you click your mouse on a link to a PDF file (assuming Acrobat Reader is already installed) your computer will open up the application, along with the desired file.

 



Installing Acrobat Reader

To obtain a copy of Acrobat Reader, firstly download it to your hard drive by clicking on the graphical link below and follow the instructions there. The software comes complete with a 'Read Me' file which explains how to install Acrobat Reader onto your computer.



You can set your web browser preferences to open or activate Acrobat Reader automatically whenever you download a PDF document so it can be read right away. Web browsers vary, but the general location of this automatic feature is under "Options," then "Preferences," then "Applications" (or "Helper Applications"). For more information, search for 'PDF' in the help menu of your browser.
