To open, view and print PDF documents, you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader, version 4 or higher. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free software program, with versions available for Windows, Mac OS, OS2 and Unix. Many computers come with Adobe Acrobat Reader already installed. If you don't already have it, you can download Adobe Acrobat Reader for free by clicking on the button below. You can use either Adobe's E-Book Reader or the regular Acrobat Reader to open the documents.


How to save a document as a separate file on your computer.

Many web browsers will display the documents directly in the browser, rather than downloading it as a separate file. If you prefer to save the file to your disk, so you don't have to download it each time you want to read it, here's what to do:

Windows:
Right-click on the download link and a menu will pop up.
Select "Save Target As" from the pop-up menu.
A file dialog box will appear, allowing you to save the file to your hard drive.

Macintosh:
Click and hold down the mouse button on the download link and a menu will pop up.
Select "Download Link to Disk" from the pop-up menu.
A file dialog box will appear, allowing you to save the file to your hard drive.

Once you've saved the file on your disk, you will be able to open it at any time using Adobe Acrobat Reader, even if you're not connected to the Internet.
